All EL250 Series electrodes require adhesive disks (ADD200 series) and recording gel
(GEL1 or the preferred recording gel)
.

section for further
description.
Instructions for EL250 Series Electrodes
1) Store electrodes in clean, dry area.
2) After use, clean electrode with cold to tepid water
a) DO NOT use hot water.
b) Cotton swabs are suggested.
3) The electrodes should be completely dry before returning to storage.
4) DO NOT allow the electrodes to come in contact with each other during storage (adverse reaction could take
place).
Electrodes may form a brown coating if they have not been used regularly. This should be removed by
gently polishing the surface of the electrode element with non-metallic material. Wiping with mild
ammonium hydroxide will also remove this coating. Rinse with water and store the electrode in a clean,
dry container.
5) Remove an appropriate size electrode washer (ADD204, ADD208, or ADD212) from its waxed paper strip
and carefully apply the washer to the electrode so the center hole of the washer is directly over the electrode
cavity.
6) Fill the cavity with electrode gel (GEL100). No air bubbles should be present in the cavity.
7)
Remove the white backing from the washer to expose the second adhesive side.
8)
Place electrode on prepared skin area and smooth the washer into place.
9)
Apply a few drops of electrode gel to fingertip and rub the exposed side of the adhesive washer (around the
electrode) to rid its surface of adhesive quality.
