8.2.4 Surface Electrode
Application
• Clean and dry the skin at the prescribed area thoroughly prior to application of
surface electrodes.
• The surface electrodes shall be snapped to the FrictionLoc connectors then removed
from the protective liner then firmly applied to the patient. Store the protective liner in
the surface electrode package.
Removal
• When removal is required, lift the edge of surface electrode and peel towards the
surface electrode.
• To reuse the surface electrode, place the surface electrode back onto the protective
liner's "ON" side.
Care and Storage
• Between uses, store the surface electrodes in the surface electrode package in a
cool dry place.
• It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of water over
the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over saturation with water will reduce
the adhesive properties.
Very Important!
• Do not apply to broken skin.
• The surface electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
• The surface electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
