2. Attach the electrode patch to the skin at the prepared site. Smooth the electrode patch
down in a circular motion to ensure proper skin contact. If using soft gel electrodes,
never push down directly over the contact gel medium as this may displace the gel and
cause monitoring artifact. If using hard gel electrodes, it is recommended that during
application, the center of the electrode should be slightly pressed onto the skin to ensure
direct contact. Consult the electrode patch manufacturer’s instructions for specific use.
3. Secure the lead wires to the patient according to hospital practice. For additional
information see section NOTE:, “It is recommended that electrode patches be changed
at least every 24 – 36 hours to maintain proper contact with the skin. Some patients
may require electrodes to be changed more often. Electrode patches are disposable and
should be applied only once. Try to avoid reusing the exact same electrode site during
reapplication. If an electrode becomes wet with fluid, change the electrode patch.”.
WARNING: Route cables neatly. Ensure cables, hoses and wires are
kept away from patient’s neck to avoid strangulation. Keep
floors and walkways free of cables to reduce risk to
hospital personnel, patients and visitors.

4.5.3 Lead Placement
4.5.3.1 Description
For lead placement, the computerized arrhythmia algorithm works best when the patient’s R
wave is significantly larger than the P wave or the T wave. If the R wave is not significantly
larger than other lower voltage waves on the ECG tracing, the computer may have some
difficulty in identifying the appropriate waves. On some patients, electrode patch placement
and/or the viewed ECG lead may need to be adjusted in order to obtain a significant R
wave.
4.5.3.2 Setting Lead Naming Standard
This manual presents lead placement according to the guidelines of the American Heart
Association (AHA) and the International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC).
