Electrode Placement on Ambulatory Patients
WARNING: ECG lead wires must be dressed and secured to the patient to prevent the
possibility of them encircling the patient’s neck and causing strangulation.
CAUTION: The type of electrode used with this device may affect the system overload
recovery time, especially recovery time after the application of defibrillator
pulses, since some electrodes may be subject to large offset potentials due to
polarization.
Unit protocol usually dictates the best lead to be displayed on the Main screen. If the R
wave on the lead is small, it is advisable to consult the 12-lead ECG in the patient's
chart to choose a lead with a more prominent R wave.
