Fitting the custo watch
The custo watch is worn like a wristwatch, see figure. The custo watch saves the
ECG signal from the custo guard ECG transmitter.
2.6.2
Fitting the custo guard ECG transmitter with electrode belt
The ECG transmitter is fitted to the upper part of the patient’s body with the elec-
trode belt. The skin must be free from grease and personal care products.
The electrode belt must be set up so that it fits tightly and the contact surfaces
make good contact, but that the patient is not impaired or hindered in breathing.
The contact surfaces on the inside of the electrode belt must not be soiled. Soiling
will affect the quality of the ECG

CAUTION:
The electrode contact surfaces must always be in contact with the skin.
Ensure that there are no textiles between the electrode and the skin.
Make sure that the custo guard ECG transmitter is attached properly to the snap
fastener contacts of the electrode belt:
custo guard “R” = custo belt red snap fastener
custo guard “3” = custo belt green snap fastener
custo guard “L” = custo belt yellow snap fastener
