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. Press the Lead quick access key and select I, II, or III to provide the largest amplitude QRS
complex.
Note: When the Pacer is on, the lead selection is restricted to Leads I, II, or III.
5. Verify that R-waves are being properly detected by confirming that a QRS tone occurs with
each displayed R wave or by verifying that the Propaq MD unit’s heart rate display accurately
reflects the patient’s pulse rate.
