12. GENERAL PAD ADVICE

•
The electrode pads supplied are reusable but are for single
patient use.
•
In order to obtain the best conductivity through the pads
always ensure that they are in good condition and tacky.
•
Before use make sure your skin is clean and dry.
•
Peel the electrode pads from their protective plastic shield by
holding and lifting one corner of the pad and pulling. Do not
pull on the pigtail wire of the pad.
•
After use always replace the pads on the plastic liner and
replace in the re-sealable plastic bag.
•
If the pads dry out then it is best to buy a replacement pack
of electrodes. In an emergency it may be possible to restore
some of the tackiness of the pad by adding a tiny drop of water
on each pad and spreading around. If too much water is added
the pads will become too soft then it is suggested in order to try
re-establish some adhesiveness to place them sticky side up in a
refrigerator for a few hours.
•
In very hot weather the gel on the pads may become soft. In
such cases place the pads, still on their plastic liners and in
their bag into a fridge until they return to their normal condition.
