Typically (for a severe or acute infection or wound) with approaching ideal 24/7 continuous use, we recommend replacement of the (+)positive electrode every 12-48 hours, and replacement of the (-)(‘return’) electrode every 24-48 hours. These guidelines can be modified depending on anatomical location and other factors such as ambient temperature that will affect sweating.
Further information and instructions for application of the SIS electrodes are included in the operating manuals of the SIS machines, and on the Instructions For Use card included in each SIS electrode pack.
