EKG / ECG Electrode – Box of 1000

The Welch Allyn Resting Tab Electrodes are electrode tabs a bit different than most tabs you may find on any market. Resting electrode tabs are used to measure and take readings from a patient when in a calm and relaxed state. The fundamental reading can detect a patient’s natural rhythm at a non-exhausted state. These types of readings are used to find a base for patients, to find a starting point from which to compare other readings to and are usually performed by trained staff.

The Welch Allyn Resting Electrodes (45008-0000) comes in a square shape and is sized for adults. A larger size is better to use when connecting the electrode tabs to an adult as it can obtain more accurate readings. Using the correct size may not seem like much of a difference in the size of the electrode tab, but the device can pick up on these readings and display incorrect information; rendering your results unusable.

Being able to reposition the tabs can be accommodated for several times. The adhesive will eventually wear out if the area is not cleaned properly by removing hair with a razor such as the Medi-Pak Disposable Razor, and dead skin with a prep wipe – but the tabs can be repositioned for a few numbers of times if needed during training sessions before it starts to lose its adhesive coating. Note that this does not mean the tab should be used again with another patient. To reduce cross-contamination, you should only use new electrode tabs with all patients; as using the same tabs from prior sessions can cause infections or bacteria to transfer to the new patient.

It is crucial to note that the tabs are not radiolucent, they should not be used during a radiology session.
