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.

If you wish to lease a Holter Monitor at your practice, please get in touch to discuss our
