2.2 Place electrodes on the patient
Important
: Because Pocket ECG is a 12 lead electrocardiograph all electrodes must be
connected! Proper skin preparation (abrasion if necessary) and proper electrodes are very
important for a good signal quality.
Important
: When you connect the electrodes to the patient, make sure that the electrodes and
their connectors (also the RL/N electrode) do not contact other conducting parts (including
earth).
Extremity electrodes
When you record a Resting-ECG, the extremity electrodes should be connected to the ankles
and wrists.
