## Indications for use
The Taylor TENS electrode is designed to be used in monitoring/ stimulating applications. This type of application places the emphasis on the patient's comfort. We recommend that the patient’s skin be clean, dry, and shaved, if necessary. It has been shown that a mild abrasion with a prep pad or with fine sandpaper will reduce the inter electrode impedance imbalance, which can cause the pickup of 60 cycle noise, known as baseline hum. This means that the way a patient's skin is prepared for the electrode, will affect the quality of how the users ECG tracings come out and the performance during stimulation procedures. The Taylor TENS electrode is for Health Care Professionals only. It is intended for single patient use only.
