Application information for single-use neutral electrodes


When using single-use products, always pay attention to the use-by date. Do not use electrodes
which are over this date!

Neutral electrodes designed for single use must not be used a second time!

The electrode must not be attached to surfaces with a high amount of hair growth. If necessary,
shave the relevant area before attaching.

The neutral electrode must be attached in such a way that its entire surface adheres to the
patient's body.

After every change of the patient's position, check that the neutral electrode is adhering correctly
and also check the cable routing.

As soon as the electrode has been attached, it must not be pulled off and attached again. Should
the electrode have to be repositioned, use a new neutral electrode.

The neutral electrode must not come into contact with fluids and must not be coiled round.

Do not apply any additional electrically conductive gel to the neutral electrode.

When performing surgery on small children, special electrodes suitable for children or babies must
be used (see manufacturer's instructions)

Never under any circumstances use damaged products!

When removing the neutral electrode, never pull on the cable!

When pulling off single-use electrodes, ensure that the patient's skin is not damaged. Avoid any
abrupt movements.

Application information for reusable neutral electrodes


The neutral electrode must be wiped with disinfectant before repeated use. To disinfect reusable
rubber neutral electrodes, we recommend the products Incidin perfekt, Minutil and Incidur F from
Ecolab.

The neutral electrode must be attached in such a way that its entire surface adheres to the
patient's body. A rubber band provided for this purpose can be used to ensure better adhesion.

When attaching the neutral electrode, ensure that the long side is pointing towards the operation
field.

After each change in the patient's position, check the correct adhesion of the electrode and the
connecting cable!

The electrode must not be attached to surfaces with a high amount of hair growth. If necessary,
shave the relevant area before attaching.

The electrode must not be wet or coiled round.

Fluids between the patient's skin and the neutral electrode must be avoided.

Do not apply any additional electrically conductive gel to the neutral electrode.

When performing surgery on small children, special electrodes suitable for children or babies must
be used (see manufacturer's instructions)

When removing the neutral electrode, never pull on the cable!

Never under any circumstances carry out repairs on the neutral electrode!
Please note that rubber electrodes lose their conductive capability if active substances are eroded
due to cleaning of the material. This type of electrode considerably increases the risk of burns.
Consequently ensure that not only the unit but also the reusable neutral electrode is included in
regular maintenance inspections.
