4.1.4 Electrode application
To yield reproducible recordings without artefacts, the optimal application of the
electrodes is necessary.
Attach the electrodes to the electrode leads before they are stuck to the skin. This
avoids applying hard pressure to the patient’s body.
For women with large breasts, the electrodes should either be stuck to the breasts
(small amplitude) or directly under them (sweat and artefacts through pressure).
The following cables may be used:
•
Patient cable 2 or 2L, TELESMART-H or -P (2 channel ECG with 5 electrodes)
•
Patient cable 3, TELESMART-H (3 channel ECG with 7 electrodes)
•
Patient cable M, TELESMART-H (3 channel ECG with 3 electrodes)
The placement of electrodes is exploratory. Based on the position and condition of
the heart, modifications to the suggested electrode application can be made to in-
crease the signal quality.
!
Please always connect the patient cable to your TELESMART recorder
before
you
apply the cable with electrodes to the patient!
For removal of the recorder from the patient, please disconnect first the electrodes
from the patients body and then remove the electrode from the cable by holding the
electrode-knob with one hand and pulling gently at the electrode with the other.
Please do not pull at the electrode cable. Doing so will shorten the life-time of the
cable significantly.
For changing the patient cable, please open the battery compartment, remove the
battery and open the connection of the patient cable to the recorder by gently
pulling the plug. Please do not pull the cable! Now you can connect the desired
patient cable with the recorder and re-assemble the device.
