Therapy Electrode Application
WARNING! Poor adherence and/or air under the therapy electrodes can lead to the possibility of
arcing and skin burns.
1. Apply one edge of the pad securely to the patient.
2. Roll the pad smoothly from the applied edge to the other, being careful not to trap any air
pockets between the gel and skin.
3. Ensure that hands-free therapy electrodes are making good contact with the patient’s skin and
are not covering any part of any other ECG electrodes.
4. If using OneStep Pacing electrodes or OneStep Complete electrodes, select ECG lead P1, P2,
or P3; otherwise, select an appropriate ECG lead. Adjust ECG size for a clean, well-defined
ECG signal.
5. Verify proper R-wave detection. The heart-shaped symbol flashes with each R-wave when
proper detection is taking place. Adjust ECG size for a clean, well-defined ECG signal.
Note: When the OneStep Pacing electrode configuration is used and the unit is switched to
PACER mode, P3 is automatically selected as the ECG source. When separate ECG
electrodes and hands-free therapy electrodes are used, Lead II is automatically selected
as the ECG source.
While ECG signals acquired from P1, P2 or P3 are appropriate for ECG rhythm assessment and
determining electrical capture during pacing, they should not be used for diagnostic purposes.
Conventional ECG electrodes and cable should be used for this purpose.
