Attaching the Patient Cable
The LeadForm Patient Cable consists of a connector block, main cable and leadwires connected to the main cable.
Each leadwire terminates in a snap connector. The leadwires are positioned on the main cable to follow the contour
of the torso.
Insert the connector block into the input connector on the top of the X12+ Transmitter.
Note: Be careful to insert the connector block parallel to the input connector of the X12+.

Skin Preparation
Skin preparation is important to perform before electrode attachment to help insure good signal quality when
transmitting patient data. Poor skin-electrode contact may cause noise or artifact which can affect the analysis of the
ECG data. Low amplitude signals may also be the result of poor skin-electrode contact.
To prepare the skin
1. Identify the electrode sites on the torso by referring to the next section on Positioning the
Electrodes.
2. Remove any hair from the electrode sites using a razor.
3. Wipe oils from the electrode sites with an alcohol prep pad.
4. Remove any dead skin from the electrode sites with an abrasive pad. Two to three moderate rubs
at each site should be sufficient.
