3.3 Capturing Sounds and ECGs
To capture sounds and ECGs, DUO can be used on
various locations and orientations of the chest. Each
position will produce a unique heart sound and ECG
tracing.
Audio
Diaphragm
Capture sounds by placing DUO anywhere on the
body. For best audio, press the device firmly against
the skin to ensure good contact.
ECG
Capture the ECG signal by placing DUO on the chest.
One position that works well is over the left pectoral
muscle, centered below the clavicle and angled at
45°, as shown in the illustration below. If the patient
has particularly dry skin, significant body fat or
chest hair, then the conductive gel used with other
ECG systems may be applied to DUO electrodes to
improve the quality of the ECG signal.
Placement
DUO streams a single lead ECG. Best
placement can vary.
ECG electrodes must be placed on the skin.
DUO can also be used to auscultate at all
anatomical positions.

to vibration and hand noise. Remember to
apply firm and constant pressure against the
body to ensure good contact.
