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.

instructions documented in the operations manual that accompanied your product. Please read your

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.

■ The parity is set incorrectly.■ Verify the baud rates and parity
■ Baud rate settings may be
inappropriate.
■ Check the power and cables. Ensure
that the device is in the online mode
and that RS-232 port req uirements are
satisfied.
■ Check for RS-232 compatibility at the
monitor and at the external device.
■ Check the monitor port assignments
and port connections.
