3.4 Attaching Electrodes
3.4.1 Attaching Electrodes for Resting ECG
WARNING
Make sure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting objects.
The quality of ECG waveform will be affected by the contact resistance between the patient and
the electrode. In order to get a high-quality ECG, the skin-electrode resistance must be minimized
while connecting electrodes.
The identifiers and color codes of electrodes used comply with IEC/EN requirements. In order to
avoid incorrect connections, the electrode identifiers and color codes are specified in Table 3-1.
