MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Electrodes
For best signal responses from your EMG electrodes, we recommended cleaning
the electrodes regularly to remove sweat residue and maintain hygiene. Clean
the surface of each electrode and the inner socket with a mild soap solution as
needed, at least a couple of times a week.
WARNING: DO NOT SUBMERGE whole electrode or arm in a bath of
water. This could permanently damage the electrodes.
WARNING: DO NOT USE harsh chemicals, such as acetone, bleach,
kitchen cleaners, etc. This could permanently damage the electrodes
and the skin.
