Before applying the neutral electrode
 Shave the area where the neutral electrode will be applied.
 Clean the application site, and do not use alcohol, as this dries out
the skin and increases contact resistance.
 In case of poor circulation, massage or brush the application site.
 Apply the neutral electrode using the entire contact surface. Secure
reusable neutral electrodes with rubber bands or elastic ties so that
they do not loosen or fall off when the patient moves. Ensure that
the patient's circulation is not impaired (risk of necrosis).
 Never use wet towels or electropastes.
 Ensure that no liquids (e.g. cleaning fluids, disinfectants, blood,
urine) get between the patient and the neutral electrode.
 Do not place the neutral electrode under the patient's buttocks or
back.
 Ensure that there are no ECG electrodes in the current path of the
HF device.
Example application using a disposable electrode
 Remove the protective film and attach the self-adhesive disposable
electrode to the patient. Ensure that the long side of the disposable
electrode faces the operation site and the electrode is fully in
contact with the skin. This prevents the current density from
becoming excessive at the short edge.
 Using both hands, press the self-adhesive disposable electrode
firmly against the patient’s skin.
 Clamp the electrode tab to the neutral electrode cable.
 After the operation, remove the disposable electrode carefully to
avoid skin damage.
Use of a one-piece neutral electrode
 Check the one-piece neutral electrode during the surgery.
Use of a split neutral electrode

Apply the split neutral electrode correctly and without any additional
objects, as the HF device does not recognize the bridging of the
section surfaces by other objects.
For monitoring of the neutral electrode, see Section EASY neutral
electrode monitoring (EASY monitoring), page 23.
