Use only those electrodes that getemed AG or an authorized dealer
has delivered or approved. Other electrodes can, in particular when
monitoring apnea, cause malfunctions and in addition cause dam-
age to the patient’s skin. Read and observe the operating instruc-
tions for the electrodes.
Do not continue using damaged electrodes or cables. Do not immerse
electrodes or cables in water, solvents, or liquid cleaning agents.
Store the electrodes in a cool dry place. Observe the storage instruc-
tions on the packaging.
Do not use electrodes after their expiration dates (this date is
printed on the packaging, e.g. FEB2006 or 2006-02 = February 2006).
The electrodes provided are designed for short-term applications.
Using the same electrodes several times can lead to malfunctions
when the adhesive surface fails to adhere properly.
Do not open the electrode’s packaging until shortly before the elec-
trode is to be used. Open the packaging and remove the electrodes.
Hold the sides of the electrode and peel off the transparent film. Do
not pull on the electrode’s cable. Avoid finger contact with the elec-
trode’s gel-coated surface as much as possible.
If you intend to reuse the same electrode a short time later, carefully
reattach them to the transparent film. This helps to prevent the
electrode from drying out or becoming soiled.
Use exclusively the ECG patient cable delivered by getemed AG.
Connect the ECG electrodes only to the ECG patient cable and this
only to the corresponding VitaGuard® socket.
CAUTION Make sure when attaching electrodes that neither the
electrodes nor their plug connectors come into contact with other
electrically conducting parts. There must also be no contact with
