5.2
Opening the packaging
The return electrodes are not packaged sterile. To open, tear off
the strip on the dispenser carton and open the pouch. Once the
pouch has been opened, use the return electrodes within
14 days. Always keep unused return electrodes in the pouch. Re-
close by folding over.
The cover protects the return electrode from drying out. Remove
the cover right before application. Otherwise the conductive hy-
drogel will dry out and the return electrode will no longer be us-
able.

An expiration date is indicated on the return electrode packag-
ing. Never use return electrodes after the expiration date.
