Single-part, reusable neutral (rubber) electrode
•
Examine the condition of the electrode and the connection cable before use. Do not
use equipment with visible defects and damaged insulation.
•
The neutral electrode should be applied to adhere to the patient’s body with its entire
surface.
•
The reusable silicone electrode should be attached with special tape for neutral
electrode fixing to prevent it from moving
•
The electrode should be placed in the vicinity of the operative field but no closer than
20 cm from it.
•
When applying the neutral electrode make sure that it faces the operative field with its
longer side. This requirement does not apply to the disposable TwinSafe electrodes
which can be applied in any position.
•
The electrode should not get wet or be wrapped in anything
.
•
Do not spread conductive gels on the surface of the neutral electrode
.
•
No fluids should enter between the body and the electrode.
•
When performing procedures on small children electrodes of appropriate size should
be used: newborn or baby.
•
When disconnecting the neutral electrode, never do it by pulling the cable.
•
Under no circumstances try to repair the neutral electrode by yourself.
Remember that a rubber electrode loses its conductive properties as active substances are
rinsed out from the rubber. Such an electrode increases the risk of burns. Therefore not only
the devices but also the reusable electrodes should be subject to regular inspections.
Before attaching the neutral electrode read the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s directions printed on the packaging of
the neutral electrode. Reusable passive electrodes should be disinfected
before use (see chapter 11 "Generator and accessories maintenance”).
