Cleaning the Sensor Site
Prior to affixing the Trigno sensor on the surface of the skin, the sensor site for
the reference contacts and the EMG detection contacts must be properly
cleaned to remove dry dermis and any skin oils. Wiping the skin prior to sensor
application helps ensure a high-quality signal. If excessive hair is present, it will
also be necessary to shave the site. In cases where the skin is excessively dry, it
may be useful to dislodge dry skin cells by dabbing the site with medical tape.
The dry cells will attach the tape’s adhesive when it is removed. Be sure to wipe
with isopropyl alcohol to remove any adhesive residue that may remain.
Applying the Trigno Adhesive Skin Interfaces
Trigno System are supplied with specially-designed adhesive interfaces to
simplify sensor attachment. These hypo-allergenic interfaces are manufactured
from medical grade adhesive approved for dermatological applications. Usage
of the interface promotes a high quality electrical connection between the
sensor bars and the skin, minimizing motion artifacts and the ill-effects of line
interference. To ensure a strong bond with the skin, it is advised to remove
excessive hair and wipe the skin area and the EMG Sensor with isopropyl
alcohol to remove oils and surface residue. Allow the skin to dry completely
before applying the interfaces.
Adhesive Sensor Interfaces are for single use only. Discard after
using. Reseal storage bag to maintain freshness.
Immediately discontinue use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs.
Patients with sensitive skin may experience temporary redness
and irritation.
Do not use on Patients with allergies to silver.
Do not apply over open wounds or irritated skin.
