Re-Application and Storage of Electrodes
Directions for Use (Patient)
• If adhesive becomes over-saturated, allow electrode to air dry in a
refrigerator with adhesive side up until gel regains tack.
• If the electrode gel appears dry, add a few drops of water to the
electrode gel. Let rest to regain tack and apply to skin.
• If electrode accumulates dirt/dust in the adhesive, the impedance
increases, usually leading to increased heat dissipation at the electrode
which can lead to skin burns. Inspect the electrode for dust and dirt
accumulation before reuse. Feel the electrode to make sure it is still
tacky. If the adhesive has accumulates too much dirt/dust, it will no
longer adhere. Replace electrode when it does not adhere.
• Between uses (on the same patient), return electrode to liner and store
in resealable bag in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
NOTE: The life of the electrode varies depending on skin conditions skin
preparation, type of stimulation, storage, and climate.
