Applying Additional Patient Return Electrodes
If you are using a REM Polyhesive patient return electrode, follow this procedure to
correct a REM alarm condition:
1. Inspect the return electrode connector.
a. Unplug the patient return electrode from the generator.
b. Verify that the pin on the plug is present and not bent. Carefully reinsert the plug
into the Patient Return Electrode receptacle. Ensure that the pin enters the hole
and that the plug inserts fully.
If the alarm persists, go to the next step.
2. Apply firm pressure over the entire surface area of the patient return electrode,
particularly the center. If the alarm persists, go to the next step.
3. Apply a second patient return electrode.
a. Unplug the patient return electrode from the generator. Do not remove it from the
patient.
b. Apply a second REM electrode to an appropriate site and connect it to the Patient
Return Electrode receptacle on the generator.
If the alarm clears, leave the generator on during draping to avoid disturbing the
return electrode. Remove the return electrode that is not in use.
If the alarm persists, go to the next step.
4. Apply a third patient return electrode.
a. Unplug the second patient return electrode from the generator. Do not remove
either return electrode from the patient.
