How to Apply Electrodes & Washers to Skin

Patient Cables Washers/Collars

1. Prepare skin by cleansing with a skin prep-pad (IVM E436).

 

2. Select appropriate size washer (adhesive disc). Align adhesive side over the center of the electrode and firmly press onto rim. 3. Fill electrode cavity (level) with a selected gel (IVM E412 or E426). 4. Hold washer's blue tab and remove paper cover. Apply assembled electrode/washer to the skin. Gently press electrode against the skin.
ELECTRODE CLEANING  After removal, wash out gel or cream from electrode cavity by using tap water.
 
ELECTRODE STERILIZATION  We do not recommend any particular sterilization method. However, high temperatures or autoclaving are not recommended, as the leadwire insulation can be damaged. Do not leave electrodes soaking in sterilization solution longer than necessary. Do not immerse leadwire connectors in any solution.
 
ELECTRODE CARE  Electrodes should be stored in a clean, dry container. Since they are solid Ag-AgCl, should the sensor be damaged, it can easily be resurfaced.

ATTACHMENT of WASHERS to OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
In Vivo Metric washers (adhesive disks/collars) can be used with medical devices other than electrodes, like therapeutic magnets, stethoscopes, etc.

The devices and the skin should be clean and free of any oily residues. The skin can be cleaned with skin prep pads (E436).

The device should be cleaned by following the manufacturer's instructions. Select the appropriate washer size. Attach adhesive side to the device (on the side that makes skin contact). Hold washer's blue tab and remove paper cover. Apply assembled device/washer to the skin.
