Electrode Types & Tips - Verity Medical NeuroTrac Continence Operation Manual

Electrodes Types and Tips
* Self-Adhesive reusable long-term electrodes (if looked after) have a
typical life span of 4/6 weeks. We recommend cleaning the skin with an
alcohol-based wipe before placing the electrodes. The wipe should not
contain fat as any grease will degrade the electrode stickiness. After use,
place the electrodes back onto the plastic film and in the zip-tag plastic
pouch. Store in a cool environment which is not too dry.

** IMPORTANT : Don't use VS 4040 at more than 53mA
and VS3030 at more than 46 mA.
A Few Good Tips [Self- Adhesive Electrodes]
* If you find the electrodes will not stick due to oily skin, cleanse the
skin with soap and water, then rinse and dry the area around the
electrode site. If this does not work, try cleansing the skin with a swab
impregnated with alcohol.
* Clip away hairy skin using scissors.
* The electrodes conductive material is water- based. If it becomes
saturated (e.g. from perspiration), it will lose its adhesive qualities.
After use leave the electrodes face up overnight to dry out (replace on
plastic film in the morning).
* At some point the electrodes will become dry. Moisten the adhesive
surface with a few drops of water, and apply onto the plastic film
overnight. This procedure will increase the electrode life by few more
days.
