11.5.2. Maintenance of Adequate Electrode Contact
a) Adequate contact between stimulus electrodes and the scalp should be assured. Scalp areas in contact with stimulus electrodes should be cleansed and gently abraded.b) The contact area of the stimulus electrodes should be coated with a conducting gel, paste, or solution prior to each use.
c) When stimulus electrodes are placed over an area covered by hair, a conducting medium, such as a saline solution, should be applied; alternatively, the underlying hair may be clipped. Hair beneath the electrodes should be parted prior to application of the stimulus electrodes.
d) Stimulus electrodes should be applied with sufficient pressure to assure good contact during stimulus delivery.
e) Conducting gel or solution should be confined to the area under the stimulus electrodes, and should not spread across the hair or scalp between stimulus electrodes.
f) A means of assuring the electrical continuity of the stimulus path is encouraged (see Section 11.4.1.(g)).
