9 Remove the Red Electrode
While applying pressure to the red electrode with the index finger, rotate the
upper ring approximately 90° clockwise until the cutouts align with the electrode
flanges. Then remove the electrode. Immediately and properly dispose of the
Pilogel disc from the positive (red) electrode.
CAUTION
Do not disturb or remove the red holder. It must remain in place during
analysis. In addition, leave the negative (black) electrode, gel, holder and
tape-downs in position to provide a ground contact for initial sweat rate
determination.
WARNING!
Pilogel is considered harmful. Do not ingest. Consult the SDS sheet for
more information.
WARNING!
Pilogel discs are a potential choking hazard. Make sure they are disposed
of properly.
10 Clean and Dry the Skin in the Collecting Area
Use a cotton swab with a small amount of DI water to clean the entire skin area
inside the holder, followed by clean dry swabs to completely dry the area. Without
delay, proceed to the next step.
NOTE: If the sensor is not inserted immediately, repeat the cleaning and drying
procedure just before attaching the sensor.
