HOW TO FIT A HOLTER MONITOR
By Clinical Cardiac Physiologist Michael Maxim BSc (Hons)
Before fitting the monitor ensure that
the area is free of hair to avoid interference on the ECG. Place the
electrodes in the correct area with the
press studs at the bottom.
Insert the battery and connect the cables from the
Holter to the correct electrodes.
Once the cables are connected, check the
ECG on the screen for a good signal and hit the Start button. The Holter
slides into the pouch and the patient can now continue their usual daily routine.
Inform the patient of when and where to
return the Holter and give them a diary to
document any necessary symptoms
that can then be correlated to the ECG.
