ECG Reference Guide
To prepare the patient:
1 Wash the area where you plan
to place an electrode with soap
and water.
2 If necessary, shave the area
where you plan to position the
electrodes.
3 Clean the skin with alcohol.
4 Dry the skin thoroughly.
5 Abrade the skin.
To apply ECG electrodes:
1 Attach electrode to lead wire.
2 Apply electrode to patient skin.
3 Stress loop the wires as
instructions documented in the operations manual that accompanied your product. Please read your
operations manual prior to operating your system and refer to it for full instructions.
ECG Troubleshooting Guide
Clinical SituationPossible CauseSolution
AC noise■ Display resolution set to extended
Baseline wanders■ Patient moving excessively.■ Use stress loops to secure lead wires
instructions documented in the operations manual that accompanied your product. Please read your
operations manual prior to operating your system.
Skin Preparation
■ Select a flat, nonmuscular area for
electrode placement.
■ Shave or clip hair — even fine hair.
■ Wash skin with soap and water to
remove dirt, oil, surgical scrub
solutions and dead skin.
■ Do not use soaps containing lotion.
■ Dry skin thoroughly.
■ Wipe skin with alcohol and let it dry
thoroughly.
■ Gently abrade the skin using the
scratch pad on the back of the
electrode or a dry towel.
■ If the patient is diaphoretic, apply
tincture of benzoin or other “skin
prep” solution where the electrode
patch will be adhered, leaving a hole
so the electrode gel will directly
contact the skin.
Electrode Application
■ Verify electrode expiration date has
not passed and gel is moist.
■ Attach lead wires to electrodes prior
to applying to the patient.
■ Affix electrodes to the patient by
pressing around the circumference
of the patch.
■ Do not apply pressure directly over
the electrode gel to avoid
dispersement or air trapping.
■ Stress-loop lead wire to the chest if
the patient is active or ambulatory.
■ Secure the ECG cable to the
patient’s gown.
■ Keep the ECG cable off the patient’s
chest and clear of other electrical
devices or wires.
■ Reprep the skin and apply fresh,
moist electrodes every 24 hours.
