Reducing False Alarms
Proper electrode placement will minimize false alarms.
Insure the electrodes are placed along the mid-line of
the side, two finger widths below or lined up with the
nipples.
•
If using the black reusable electrodes with the
Velcro belt, insure the belt is quite snug. Place
the electrodes far enough apart so that when the
belt is wrapped around the baby, the electrode will
be located along the mid-line of the side, two
finger widths below or lined up with the nipples.
•
The skin should be clean and dry. If the skin is
unusually dry you may add a few drops of
moisture (water) to the baby's skin prior to
electrode belt placement.
•
When using the black reusable electrodes insure
that the electrode surface is clean.
•
The optional green (RL) electrode and lead wire may help
reduce EMI interference. Place the green electrode along the
outside of baby's upper thigh.
