Instructions for Use:
The electrodes have to be placed on the patient by a physician or an ECG technician.
1. Select the placement sites as specified by hospital or physician protocol for ECG monitoring or diagnosis.
2. Ensure that skin sites are dry, clean and free of excessive hair. Degreasing and mild skin abrasion is recommended for Stress Testing. Do not use solvents to clean skin prior to ECG because solvents trapped under electrodes may lead to abnormal skin reactions.
3. Connect the lead wires to the electrodes.
4. Remove the plastic cover and position the electrode on the skin.
5. Smooth the tape, foam, or other backing with your finger as necessary.
6. Start ECG procedure.
7. Take extra care when removing electrodes from overly delicate skin (e.g. of elderly patients or because of prolonged specific medication like steroids) to avoid damaging skin.
8. Keep any unused electrodes in the original pouch. Close the opened pouch and fold-over top of pouch once or twice.
9. Use electrodes within 7 days once pouch has been opened!
Precautions:
-Employ recommended procedures of electrosurgical or monitoring equipment manufacturers to minimize risk of burns at electrode sites during electrosurgical procedures.
-Do not place electrodes on skin sites with established erythema, lesions and injuries of any kind.
-Do not use on patients with shown skin irritating effects in direct electrode contact and report any incompatibility reactions observed to the distributor.
-Do not use if gel is dry.
-Do not use the electrodes for more than 72 hours.
-The electrode is for single use only. If re-used the adhesive and the electrical properties might be insufficient. In addition a risk of cross-infection exists from one patient to the other.
