How many times can solid gel electrodes be repositioned?
Several factors determine this, such as skin preparation, type of skin and atmospheric humidity. Experience shows that under optimal conditions the electrodes can be repositioned 3 to 5 times. It must be pointed out that in order to avoid cross contamination the electrodes can only be repositioned on the same patient. The adhesive strength is at its maximum with the first placement of the electrode and will then gradually decrease according to the number of times it is repositioned. This is the case even with careful skin preparation.
