Tips for Changing Electrode Pads
Changing your Electrode Pads and Keeping Your Skin Healthy
Change your electrodes every other day. If they come loose before that time, replace
them immediately. If you are showering or bathing on the day you need to change
them, remove them in the shower or bath. Lather them up with soap and water
and pull them off gently. When you are done with your shower, dry your skin and
follow the instructions in How to Change your Electrodes. If you do not remove
the electrodes in the shower or bath, you will still need to use soap and water to
loosen them. The goal is to be gentle with your skin. Never pull the electrodes off
quickly like a band-aid.
If the electrodes come loose or are moving around before the two days are over,
replace them immediately. It is very important that the electrodes adhere to your
skin at all times. You may want to press lightly on your electrodes in the morning
when you wake up and throughout the day to make sure they are adhered to your
skin.
Do not put the electrodes in the exact same location each time you change them.
It is very important that you rotate the locations near the original sites. This will
help preserve your skin. If, at any time, redness or irritation occurs, call CardioNet
at 1-866-426-4401. Do not wait until the irritation is severe before you call.
The “Skin Prep” in your kit can be used if you experience mild skin irritation. Wipe
the 3 areas with one skin prep. Let it dry and then apply the electrodes. The skin
prep provides a barrier between the electrodes and your skin. It is usually not necessary to use the skin prep and should only be used if you have sensitive skin or
are experiencing mild skin irritation.
Adhesive remover is also included in your kit and can be used if you have any
adhesive residue left on your skin. The adhesive remover can irritate your skin
so make sure you wash it off after using. It is not necessary to use the adhesive
remover and should only be used if you can see visible adhesive still on your skin
after washing with soap and water.
Do not use lotion or powder on your chest while you are being monitored and remove all hair on your chest in the locations of the electrodes. Follow the instructions
in the next few pages on How to Change Electrodes.

The sensor is not water
proof, but the electrodes
are. Therefore, you’ll need
to remove your sensor
before taking a bath or
shower, but you can keep
the electrode pads on.
To prevent the electrodes
from falling off while you
are in the shower, avoid
soaking the electrode
pads. Gently wash the skin
around the electrodes.

Precautions, Cautions and Warnings
Responding to Monitor Alerts and Alarms
When the monitor or sensor beeps
When the monitor beeps it has nothing to do with the condition of your heart, so
don’t become concerned. The monitor will beep to alert you when it is unable to
function properly. The touch screen will explain what to do. With both alerts and
alarms you can always touch the Help button for further instructions.
5. T ROU BL E SHOOT I NG
Alerts display an information screen that will disappear after 15 seconds and have
an audio tone of two brief beeps. Alarms display an information screen that persists
and alarm tones that grow louder over time.
Alerts can sometimes fix themselves, but alarms always require action on your part.
For alarms, you can immediately silence the audio tones by touching the Silence
button on the touch screen.
The table below will help you identify the possible problem and the actions you can
take to find a solution for each monitor alert or alarm.

Troubleshooting Device Problems
About Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting sometimes involves a bit of detective work, but usually the monitor detects problems for you and can assist you with resolving the problem. The
monitor beeps to let you know there is a problem with the equipment. The touch
screen shows you a message on how to respond to the alert or alarm. For every
alert and alarm the touch screen has a help menu. Any time an alert or alarm appears and you do not know what to do, you can press the Help button to access
detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot the problem.
If your Problem Can’t be Resolved
If you experience additional problems with any components of the CardioNet
Monitoring System, review the problems and solutions listed in the troubleshooting section. If additional assistance is required contact customer support toll free
at 1-866-426-4401.
Most alerts or alarms have
a help screen. If you need
more information, press
the Help button to access
detailed instructions on
how to troubleshoot the
problem.

An alert prompts you to resolve a problem by displaying an information screen and
beeping an audio tone. With alerts the problem can fix itself and you won’t need to
take any action. With alarms you will need to take some action and information on
how to resolve the problem will be provided on the touch screen. An alarm persists
to let you know that a problem has not been resolved and you must take action.
