The FDA has issued a Public Health Advisory regarding “Unsafe Electrode Lead Wires and
Patient Cables Used With Medical Devices.” This warning pertains specifically to lead wires
with unprotected pins; that is, leads with one end connected to the patient and the other end
having pins that can be inserted directly to a power source such as a wall AC outlet. The
diagrams on this page illustrate the compliance of configurations using Dynatronics
electrodes and lead wires.
Neither the Poly electrodes with snap adapters nor carbon electrodes have lead wires or pins
that could allow direct connection to a power source. Polys electrodes with wire connector
have a short pigtail (3 to 5 inches in length); the pigtails have female connectors. Since all
Dynatronics electrodes have either no lead wire at all or very short pigtail lead wires, it is
impossible to connect an electrode directly to an improper power source when the electrode
alone is attached to the patient.
