Precautions
• Certain electrodes may cause discomfort depending on skin
integrity. Physician should perform a skin assessment prior to
selecting the appropriate patient electrode types.
• Only use cables provided by TZ Medical with the
Trident™ Pro monitor.
• To reduce the risks of strangulation or asphyxiation do not leave
electrode cables accessible to infants or children. Carefully route
the electrode cables to reduce the possibility of entanglement or
strangulation during use.
• To achieve the best recording results, stay away from heavy
electrical equipment or other sources of electromagnetic
interference. This includes equipment such as electric blankets
and heating pads.
• Avoid exposing device to excessive amounts of water or moisture.
The device is water-resistant, not waterproof.
• Do not expose device to extreme temperatures.
• Do not allow conductive parts of the Trident™ Pro patient
electrodes to contact other conductive parts, including earth.
• Changes or modications made to this equipment not expressly
approved by TZ Medical may void the FCC authorization to operate
this equipment.
• Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device
should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent
authority of the member state in which the user and/or patient
is established.
• If located in an area with poor cellular service, device may be
required to charge more frequently to avoid complete
battery depletion.
This device provides a diagnostic test. It is not an
emergency response service. If at any time you

Applying electrodes
Select electrode sites to match the electrode
conguration shown above or as instructed by the
physician. Select areas over bone, avoiding muscle areas
and breast tissue.
Use a razor to remove all excess hair, and scrub the site
clean with warm, soapy water.
Note:
Allow sites to dry completely and remove all residue before
applying adhesive electrodes.
Replacing electrodes:
Replace your electrodes every 72 hours.
• Remove lead wires from electrodes on your chest.
• Remove electrodes, wash off excess gel, and dry completely.
• Place new electrodes in proper locations
(they don’t need to be on the exact same spot).
• Avoid placing any electrodes on irritated skin.
Apply electrodes to prepped and dried
sites, pressing the border rmly to ensure
consistent adhesion. Make sure to match
electrodes to the selected conguration
from the following gures, or as
instructed by the physician.
If you experience irritation, please
call the 24-hour call center at
