5.19 Care of Electrodes:
To avoid skin irritation and ensure good contact with your skin, clean silicone
rubber electrodes with soap and water frequently. The electrodes must be dried
completely before using.
❈
The If you are using self-adhesive electrodes, disregard this procedure.
❈
Always use the electrodes with the requirements of the EN60601-1 and EN60601-2, such as
with CE mark, or are legally marketed in the US under 510(K) procedure.
5.20 Care of Electrode cords:
Clean the electrode cords by wiping them with a damp cloth. Coating them lightly
with talcum powder will reduce tangles and prolong the life.
