Product Detail

 

• Material:
  • Conductive Element: Carbon-based material, often designed as a conductive polymer layer, instead of silver or silver chloride (Ag/AgCl), which is more commonly used in ECG electrodes.
  • Adhesive: Skin-friendly adhesive that ensures good contact with the skin and provides a secure fit.
  • Backing: Usually made from foam or cloth, allowing flexibility and comfort during long-term use.
  • Snap Connector: A “snap” connection at the center that connects easily to standard ECG lead wires, enabling efficient setup and removal.
  • Design:
    • Shape: Round or rectangular, typically small and designed to adhere comfortably to the skin.
    • Disposable: Most carbon ECG electrodes are single-use, disposable devices, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
    • Size: Typically comes in different sizes to accommodate various patient types (e.g., pediatric, adult).
    • Conductivity:
      • Carbon has good conductivity but may not perform as well as Ag/AgCl in high-sensitivity applications, though it’s suitable for most routine ECG tests.
• Packaging:
  • Sold in bulk (boxes or rolls) to facilitate easy access in clinical environments.

 

 

 

Product Application

 

• Proper Skin Preparation:
  • Clean Skin: Before placing the electrodes, ensure that the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils, lotions, or dirt, which can interfere with conductivity and adhesion.
  • Hair Removal: In areas with excessive hair, it may be necessary to shave or trim the area to ensure good contact between the electrode and the skin.
• Avoid Use on Broken Skin:
  • Do not apply electrodes to damaged, irritated, or broken skin, as this can cause further irritation or lead to inaccurate readings.
• Check Adhesion Regularly:
  • For long-term monitoring, periodically check the electrodes to ensure they are securely attached. Poor adhesion can lead to false readings or signal loss.
• Avoid Reusing Disposable Electrodes:
  • Even though carbon electrodes are durable, disposable types are designed for one-time use only. Reusing electrodes can compromise hygiene and the accuracy of the ECG.
• Monitor for Allergic Reactions:
  • While carbon electrodes reduce the risk of metal allergies, it’s still important to monitor the patient for any allergic reactions to the adhesive or materials used in the electrode.
• Storage:
  • Store the electrodes in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture, which can affect their adhesive properties and overall functionality. Ensure the packaging is sealed until use to maintain sterility.
• Ensure Proper Lead Connection:
  • When attaching the snap connectors, ensure they are securely fastened to the leads to prevent signal disruptions or artifacts.
• Observe Electrode Expiry:
  • Like many medical disposables, ECG electrodes have an expiration date. Ensure they are used before this date to maintain effectiveness and avoid complications like poor adhesion or reduced signal quality.
