    It will usually disappear within 24 hours. Noraxon discourages any attempt to reuse a disposable electrode, even if it is simply pulled off to slightly reposition the electrode’s muscle placement. Some of the electrode gel may remain on the original site and the EMG signal may be affected.
  • Page 54 Desktop DTS Hardware User Manual 6. Electrodes are the weak link in the EMG measurement chain. Lack of proper attention to electrode quality or site preparation is by far the most common cause of inferior recordings. 7. It may take up to 5 minutes for disposable electrodes to fully stabilize electrically once applied to the skin.
