Chapter 10 Electrode Placement; Chest Electrode Placement - Gima 33232 Manual De Uso

9.2 It is recommended to use the thermal recording paper specified by our company
to ensure ECG waveforms of good effect. Bad recording paper will result in un-
clear ECG waveforms, fading or unsmooth paper trace, etc, even pricking up the
device's worn up and shortening the service cycle of such important components
as printer head. Please consult your manufacture or our company for purchasing
this recording paper.
9.3 High temperature, humidity or direct sunniness may all be the causes for record-
ing paper failure. The paper, which will not be used for long, shall be stored in a
cool, dry and dark place.
9.4 Substance may contaminate surface of the recording paper:
Gel, glue, and half-dry diazo compound copy paper, etc, including their organic
solvent.
9.5 Substance may cause the waveforms to disappear:
Soft PVC folders, plastic, etc; demagnetization machine and tape containing plas-
ticizer;
Some fluorescence ink pen and stamp-pad ink,etc.

ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
Advice: Set the chest electrode first, then the limb electrode.

10.1 Chest Electrode Placement

See the figure below.
Clean the skin where chest electrodes are to be attached with alcohol, then apply ECG
cream to here around 25mm in diameter and to the edge of chest electrodes, then
press and attach the electrodes to the positions from V1-V6.
Note: Keep in mind that the electrodes' coming into contact with each other
or cream's overlap from one position to another is not allowed to avoid short
circuit.
ENGLISH
Attach the chest electrodes to the locations as
following:
V1: Fourth inter-costal space at right border of
sternum.
V2: Fourth inter-costal space at left border of
sternum.
V3: Midway between V2 and V4.
V4: Fifth inter-costal space at left
mid-clavicular line.
V5: Left anterior axillary line at the horizontal lever
of V4.
V6: Left mid-axillary line at the horizontal lever of
V4.
