Often, electrode gel dry-out is a
result of incorrect storage. Store
electrodes as instructed by
manufacturer and do not remove
from their pouch until they are
ready for use.
Do not place electrodes on
skin over bones, incisions (a
surgical cut made in skin) ,
irritated skin, and body parts
where there is lots of possible
muscle movement.
Use electrodes of the same
brand. Using different
brands with dissimilar
composition can hinder an
accurate ECG trace.
