5 Possible Errors during the Suction
Ensure that neither the patient nor the leading parts of the patient connection nor
the electrodes (including the neutral electrodes) come in contact with other persons or con-
ductive objects (even when these are earthed.).
Careful application of the electrodes and good electrode contact is important for a
good transmission of the electrical potentials.
Therefore, please note the following points:
1 Only use electrodes that are recommended by mbnet Engineering GmbH .
2 To increase the electrode's conductivity and adherence:
Shave the areas where the electrodes are to be placed, if necessary.
Thoroughly clean the areas with alcohol or soapy water
(skin cream is often applied above all during the winter as this will increase
electrode resistance enormously(!) – Always COMPLETELY remove skin cream
at the application sites!)
Let the skin dry thoroughly before you apply the electrodes.
3 Check the electrode resistance.
4 If the electrode resistance is higher than the acceptable level:
Remove the electrode and use an abrasive cleaning pad or abrasive
cleaning gel to remove the uppermost layer of epidermis.
Apply the electrode.
5 After the recording, remove the electrodes by pressing on the cleaning button.
Clean the suction or vacuum electrodes according to the manufacturer's instructions.
*
Dedicated abrasive cleaning gel gives very good results in reducing the skin-electrode resistance.
