SECTION 3: SWEAT INDUCTION AND COLLECTION
3.1 Preparing for Sweat Induction
5. Inspect Electrodes and Connect to Macroduct Advanced
a. Clean the electrodes if necessary.
b. Check wires and insulation for cracks or fraying. Replace electrode
cable assembly if wires, insulation, or plastic housing are cracked
or frayed.
The device automatically detects if an electrode cable assembly is
connected. If already connected, it automatically advances to the
next screen. If the electrode cable assembly is not connected, the
display prompts to connect the electrode cable.
c. To connect, push the electrode cable assembly plug into the
connector on the top panel of the device.
6. Select Limb
The skin at selected locations for attaching the electrodes must be
free from breaks, cuts, observable abnormalities, or signs of
inflammation to prevent contamination of the sweat by serous
exudates. The skin in this area must be as wrinkle-free and hairless as
possible.
a. Tap nearest the limb where the electrodes will be attached. A
limb must be selected before being able to advance to the next
screen. The icon indicates the selected limb location.
b. After the limb is selected, tap to advance to the next screen, or
tap to go back to the previous screen.
WARNING!
Never place electrodes across the chest or on opposite limbs. Even
though the DC iontophoretic current is extremely low, there is a remote
risk of interference with cardiac rhythms.
