External Counter Electrode for Internal
Defibrillation
•
Disconnect the electrode from its lead before
cleaning or sterilizing it (Figure 18-2).
•
Clean the electrode by rubbing it down with a
cloth moistened with soap water. Use a disin-
fectant for disinfection. Do not immerse the
electrode in the liquid.
•
Low-temperature plasma sterilization is the
recommended sterilization method. Alternative
methods are ETO sterilization or ionizing
radiation. (Please note: Frequent ETO steriliza-
tion reduces the life expectancy of the plastic
material!) Do
not
autoclave the electrodes.
