Application Instructions

CLEAN THE SKIN

Application sites must be clean, dry, and free of any body

lotions. Electrode sites should be cleaned with soap and

water. Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol should be avoided

or limited to situations in which electrode adhesion is an

issue (excessively oily or lotion covered skin). If alcohol is

used, allow it to dry prior to skin abrasion.

Excessive hair at the placement site should be removed by

clipping. Abrade the skin by making an "X" on the skin

with the abrader. Use the abrader pad on the back of the

electrode (blue strip or disc) or 3M™ Red Dot™ Trace Prep.

Avoid pressing on the stud when electrode is on the

patient. To bypass this, connect the snap style leadwire

to the electrode prior to placing on the patient. Firmly

rub your finger around the outside of the front label

to activate the pressure sensitive adhesive to improve

electrode adhesion.
