  3. How to Make ECG Leads • Open a hole in the shield to pull the wire through • Use the knife to pry a hole in the shield

  4. How to Make ECG Leads • Pull wire out of shield through the hole you made • The shield is now hollow

  5. How to Make ECG Leads • Twist shield wires together • Twist black (ground) wire together • Slip black plastic banana plug cover over wires • Solder metal banana plug to wire bundle

  6. How to Make ECG Leads • Slip orange plastic banana plug cover over arm lead wire (white). • Solder metal banana plug to wire. • Repeat for other arm lead.

  7. How to Make ECG Leads • Strip other end of wire • Cut shield back from inner wire • Be sure to not solder alligator clip to shield • This will make your ECG not work • Solder alligator clips to each wire • Tip: For a neater looking job, use heat shrink tubing around the base of the alligator clip (put on wire before soldering).
