Intended Use:
The EKG Glove™ is a single use, disposable device for adults designed to configure ECG (EKG) electrodes in a single unit using a conventional ECG electrode configuration for the purpose of conducting a 12 lead electrocardiogram. The EKG Glove™ connects to existing ECG machines using an accessory cable and/or adaptor and replaces the wire leads and electrodes traditionally used to perform a full 12 Lead ECG.
Instructions For Use (IFU):
For Patients with Hairy Chests
- Add a drop of electrode gel to each electrode prior to placement.
- Have patient apply pressure to the center of the glove (if possible).
- Shave chest if necessary.
Troubleshooting
-
Verify that the glove has not exceeded the expiration date listed on the glove and the glove packaging.
-
Verify that all electrodes are in FULL contact with the patient’s skin (may have to shave chest).
-
Make sure that the 10/15 pin connector cable is fully engaged.
-
While wearing a sanitary glove, gently touch the electrode gel for each electrode to ensure that it is still moist and tacky.
-
To further increase electrode connectivity, add a drop of electrode gel to each electrode and re-apply The EKG Glove™.
