Attach the neck strap to the recorder. If a fabric carrying case is used, pull the
loops of the neck strap through the holes at the top of the carrying case. To do
so, feed the length adjusters of the strap loops through the holes. Place the loops
around the strap holders of the rechargeable battery and pull them tight. Place the
recorder around the patient‘s neck. Adjust the neck strap so that the recorder is
placed centrally on the patient‘s chest.
Shave, clean (e.g. with custo prep ECG cream) and dry the electrode application
points. Connect the electrodes to the ECG leads of the recorder. We recommend
using custo sensive electrodes. Adhesive electrodes of other manufacturers can also
be used, provided that they are approved by the respective manufacturer for this
purpose.
Remove the protective films from the electrodes. Apply the top two electrodes
( , ) under the collarbone, if possible not on a muscle. Apply the bottom electrode
( ) below the heart or on the breastbone. The electrodes can be applied at a slightly
different position within the blue frame.
IMPORTANT:
High grade electrodes, careful preparation of the patient and correct
electrode application improve the quality of the recording and facilitate evaluation.
Provide the patient with a printout of the patient diary (print via custo diagnostic
or use the provided master copy) and explain how to use the event key. Explain the
patient instructions.
Tip for fixing the recorder: To reduce movement artefacts in the recording, you
can fix the recorder to the patient. To do so, use adhesive strips with low adhesive
residue, e.g. Leukosilk.
