Electrode Placement
Advice: Set the chest electrode first, then the limb electrode.
10.1 Chest Electrode
Attach the chest electrodes to the locations as following:
V1: Fourth inter-costal space at right border of sternum.
V2: Fourth inter-costal space at left border of sternum.
V3: Midway between V2 and V4.
V4: Fifth inter-costal space at left mid-clavicular line.
V5: Left anterior axillary line at the horizontal lever of V4.
V6: Left mid-axillary line at the horizontal lever of V4.
Clean the skin where chest electrodes are to be attached with alcohol, then apply ECG cream
to here around 25mm in diameter and to the edge of chest electrodes, and press and attach the
electrodes to the positions from V1-V6.
Note:Keep in mind that the electrodes' coming into contact with each other or cream's
overlap from one position to another is not allowed.
10.2 Limb Electrode
Electrodes should be placed on the soft skin of hands and feet. Clean all the limb electrodes
and the positions around to which limb electrodes are to be attached with alcohol before
applying ECG cream to them, then firmly attach the electrodes to the positions.
Caution: Screw tightly the knob of ECG cable's plug after it inserted to the instrument.
