ECG Recording Tips
- If the reading is “unable to determine” or you receive a “Contact Separation” message,
you can reset the reading and try again.
- Moisten your wrist underneath the watch, and your index finger that you use to touch
the top contact, for a better connection.
- Relax, stay still and try not to talk. Any movement may disturb the recording.
- Maintain constant and firm pressure on the watch to help ensure that the electrodes on
the bottom of the watch make good contact with your wrist.
- Do not let your hands touch each other; that may disrupt the signal.
- Do not apply any pressure to the bottom of your wrist underneath the everbeat watch
because it can push the watch away from skin contact.
- Try it 2 or 3 times, watching the ECG display closely for a clean signal as shown in Figure
11. If you are not getting a good signal, the progress bar will not move. After a couple of
attempts, you will see what works best for you. You can always restart and try again.
- Some patients prefer different fingers. It does not matter to the everbeat system, so try
whichever finger feel the most comfortable.
- You can also switch wrists if that helps. If you do so, be sure to configure the everbeat
App by going to ECG settings and setting the hand switch accordingly.
