Electrode Care and Safety 101

This applies to all electrotherapy devices

With industry-leading durability, CMP helps ensure optimal electrode functionality and patient safety with electrodes, share the CARE tips below with your customers!

1.         Choose the right electrodes - Never use monitoring or TENS electrodes with Electrotherapy devices.

Only use CMP distributed electrodes.

2.         Apply electrodes properly - Thoroughly clean the skin prior to positioning electrodes and ensure

adhesion across the entire electrode surface.

3.         Replace electrodes frequently - Self-adhesive electrodes have a MAXIMUM of 15 uses. Indicators to replace include:

• 1) Dry, non-adhering electrodes
• 2) Patient feels intermittent or no current
• 3) You get an error message

4.         Economize, but don’t compromise - To reuse electrodes, store in their original sealed pouch

and replace when needed & be wary of cheap electrode brands.
