• Are FIAB grounding plates reusable?

  FIAB manufactures both disposable and reusable grounding plates. Models like the F7915 are reusable and must be cleaned and disinfected between uses, whereas disposable models must be discarded after a single use.

• How should FIAB electrodes be stored?

  Electrodes should be stored in their original packaging at the temperature and humidity levels specified on the pouch label. Ensure the package is not subjected to heavy weights to prevent damage.

• Can FIAB electrosurgical plates be used on patients with pacemakers?

  Patients with implanted pacemakers should not be submitted to electrosurgical current without prior consultation with a cardiologist, as indicated in the safety warnings.

• What should be done if the adhesive gel on an electrode is dry?

  If the gel is not homogeneous or appears dry, the electrode should not be used. Do not attempt to add gel or rehydrate the product; replace it with a new one to ensure proper conductivity and safety.
