WARNING
Remember that a silicone electrode loses its conductive properties as active substances
are rinsed out from the rubber. Such an electrode increases the risk of burns. Therefore,
not only the systems but also the reusable electrodes should be subject to regular
inspections.
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying a neutral electrode.
ALWAYS observe the manufacturer’s instructions on the package of the neutral
electrode.
8.2.4 Neutral electrode application principles
CAUTION
Do not apply the electrode on scar tissue, cuts or scratches.
Do not apply the electrode in areas that are concave, bony or include protrusions.
Do not apply the electrode on excessively hairy skin – shave the application area, if
necessary.
Do not use at sites with excessive fatty tissue, e.g. the abdomen or buttocks.
Do not apply the neutral electrode over implants.
When disconnecting the neutral electrode, never do so by pulling the cable.
The neutral electrode cannot touch any conductive elements, e.g. metal parts
of the table.
RECOMMENDATION
The neutral electrode should be applied so as to adhere to the patient’s body with its
entire surface.
The neutral electrode should be applied on clean and dry skin. The neutral electrode
should be applied on smooth, well vascularised areas, without skin folds, for instance on
the upper arm or thigh.
The electrode should be placed in the vicinity of the operative field but no closer than
20 cm from it.
When applying the neutral electrode make sure that its longer side faces the operative
field.
