remove any debris.
f) Connect the color coded snap-on lead wires to the appropriate
electrodes before applying the electrodes to the patient.
g) Once the backing is removed from each electrode, place it firmly on the
prepared skin surface site.
h) In order to prevent the lead from tugging directly on the electrodes,
create a strain relief by looping each lead wire and placing a strip of
adhesive tape over the loop as well as on the electrode.

5. Operation
5.1 Materials Needed
a) One Flash memory card with a storage capacity of 10 MB or larger.
The card requires no special formatting prior to its first use.
b) Two AA Alkaline (IEC-LR6) batteries.
c) Patient Diary.
d) Recorder, either 5 or 7 lead patient cable, pouch or carrying case,
shoulder strap and belt.
5.2 To Start Recording
a) Enter the patient’s personal data on the Flash memory card label
including the doctor's name, patient's name, and the date and start time
of the test. (A Sharpie, fine point, erasable marking pen is
recommended). This information should also be noted in the patient's
diary and the patient should then be instructed on how to fill out this
diary.
- Note -
Since the flash memory card is intended to be reused, the patient label
on the back side of the card has been designed to be easily erased so
that the next patient’s data can be written in the same area. Insure use
of an erasable marker.
b) Insert the Flash memory card into the recorder.
c) The electrodes and lead wires should be attached to the patient as
specified in the previous section (Electrode Attachment). Once this has
been done, the lead wires must next be connected to the recorder
carefully following the color code above the input connector.
d) Install two fresh alkaline AA batteries.
- Caution -
All previous ECG patient data on the Memory card will be erased
immediately once the new batteries are inserted.
