Disposable Tab Electrodes
Disposable electrodes have conductive material on the adhesive side only.
The electrode tab must be placed between (clip) or on (banana or pushbutton) the electrode
adapter, and remain flat. Do not attempt to place the electrode adapter so close to the circular
part of the electrode that the tab of the electrode is bent, or contact is made with the conductive
gel. Gently tug on the electrode adapter to ensure that the electrode adapter is properly placed on
the electrode. Good and accurate placement of each electrode on the first attempt is important.
Each time an electrode is lifted off the skin and reattached, the adhesive gel becomes less
effective.
Caution
Never mix reusable and disposable electrodes on the same patient.
