CHAPTER 16 APPLICATION OF RE-USABLE
SELF ADHESIVE ELECTRODES
Application
1. Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly with soap and
water prior to application of electrodes.
2. Insert the lead wire into the pin connector on the pre-wired electrodes.
3. Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply the electrodes
firmly to the treatment site.
Removal
1. Lift at the edge of electrodes and peel; do not pull on the lead wires because
it may damage the electrodes.
2. Place the electrodes on the liner and remove the lead wire by twisting and
pulling at the same time.
Care and Storage
1. Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealed bag in a cool dry place.
2. It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops
of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over
Saturation with water will reduce the adhesive properties.
Important
1. Do not apply to broken skin.
2. The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
3. The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.
5. Read the instruction for use of self-adhesive electrodes before application.
