FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions For Troubleshooting (FAQ) – Medline EKG Electrodes (Advanced)
Tap a question to expand the answer.
Why is the electrode not sticking?
- Shave excessive hair at the site
- Clean with dry gauze
- Attach leadwire before removing liner
- Remove backing completely
- Press firmly on center and edges
Which electrode is best for adhesion issues?
Stress/Diaphoretic electrodes redirect sweat away from the pad. MedGel Plus electrodes offer stronger adhesion for challenging conditions.
Which electrode is best for conductivity?
Wet Gel electrodes provide the best signal quality due to their highly conductive formula.
Why is my Wet Gel electrode not sticking?
Press edges instead of the center. Pressing the gel center can rupture it and weaken adhesion. Also ensure the backing tab is removed fully.
