5. Important Notes on Taking a Measurement

In order to obtain a good ECG reading, it is important that measurements are taken correctly.

Before taking a measurement for the first time, read these instructions carefully and make sure you observe the following points each time you take a measurement.

•Make sure that the electrodes are directly touching your skin.

•If your hands or skin are dry, wipe them with a damp towel so that they are slightly moist.

•If the electrodes are dirty, wipe any dirt off with a soft cloth moistened with disinfectant alcohol or a cotton swab.

-Take care not to use too much disinfectant alcohol when cleaning the electrodes.

-Do not wipe or get disinfectant alcohol on parts other than the electrodes.

•Do not move during measurement.

-Movement, including talking, coughing, or sneezing, during measurement can affect the measurement results.

•If the position of your finger or arm is inappropriate during measurement, the results may be unreliable, so be sure to check their position before taking a measurement. (Refer to p. 22 and p. 23.)

•After taking a measurement, disinfect the electrodes by wiping them with a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with disinfectant alcohol. If you do not disinfect the electrodes there is a risk of skin disease.

Note: If you have problems applying the unit so that the chest electrode is flat against your chest, please ask your doctor for advice.
