Classified by conductive types
Liquid electrode: liquid medium has a strong penetration and wetting effect on the skin, can provide very fast and stable ECG waveform; The liquid electrode is suitable for ecg diagnosis and monitoring of dry, rough, hairy people and low temperature environment. For example: the elderly, manual workers and dry low temperature areas. Therefore, the liquid electrode is very suitable for Narcotrend, which is a good signal effect and is recommended for conventional use.
Solid gel electrode: the solid adhesive itself is sticky, even if the user applies pressure or the movement is large, the conductive adhesive will not be separated from the skin surface instantly, so that the electrical signal will disappear instantly; Solid glue is suitable for ecg diagnosis and monitoring during exercise. For example: exercise tablet, dynamic electrocardiogram, professional athletes ecg test.
Gel electrodes can be used in narcotrends, such as the 3M brand electrodes commonly used in third grade hospitals, but the signal transmission function of such electrodes is worse than that of liquid electrodes. If only a solid plastic electrode is on hand, then a certain amount of -treatment, such as careful cleaning of the skin, dripping of normal saline or conductive cream, can be used to achieve a good effect in the preparation stage of the placement of a Narcotrend electrode to the patient.
Classified by backing material
Foam backing electrode: with strong viscosity, even if a lot of sweat can be used normally; The sponge backing is suitable for diagnosis and monitoring during exercise. For example: exercise v tablet, dynamic electrocardiogram, professional athletes ecg test. The sponge backing electrode can be used for narcotrend, the following "blue dot electrode" is sponge backing, comfort is very good.
Non-woven lining electrode: permeability and breathable , skin comfort is good, also suitable for long-term diagnosis and monitoring. For example: ICU, CCU, bedside monitoring, etc. Non-woven lining electrodes can be used for narcotrends.
Cautions
1,Disposable medical ECG electrodes should be used by professionals,or doctors. And should be used under the guidance of staff.
2,It is only used for disposable ECG electrodes. It is prohibited to soak, clean or otherwise leave harmful residues or may cause problems or inaccuracies in the production plant system. The design and materials of the unit are not suitable for routine cleaning procedures.
3, In the process, the working electrode material should be placed as far away from the electrical area as possible, in order to reduce the harmful RF signal current to a lower state.
4, In order to reduce the damage to the skin, it is necessary to replace another adhesive electrode patch.
5. The bag may become dry when opened, so do not open the bag before use.
