Holter Procedure Patient Preparation
When making the appointment, tell the patient:
• Do not remove any electrodes or disconnect lead wires.

• Do wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing to the appointment (shirt-and-pants or
blouse-and-skirt combinations are better than one-piece garments.)

during recorder hookup and removal.
WARNING Safety—Do not connect external devices to the recorder. Connect
patient lead wires only to the patient electrodes.
