Specifications
- Size: 1.6 in × 1.36 in (4.0 cm × 3.5 cm).
- Connector: center snap (radiolucent stud) for standard snap lead wires.
- Backing/material: foam backing with a solid/sticky gel conductor.

- Wear time (manufacturer tested): may be used for monitoring up to 5 days per manufacturer instructions.
- Packaging (manufacturer listing for 2570-5): 5 electrodes per bag (strip), 200 bags per case (total 1,000 electrodes per case).
What is included
- - Manufacturer part 2570-5 is sold in manufacturer strips/bags; bulk-case quantities commonly sold to healthcare customers (see packaging above).
Condition and packaging
- - Product is disposable single‑use monitoring electrodes supplied new in manufacturer bags/strips and bulk case packaging. The supplied photograph shows electrodes mounted in strips; the image appears to show a multi-column strip presentation that conflicts with the 5/strip packaging listed for part 2570-5 (see warnings).
Usage notes
- - Intended for ECG/monitoring applications; follow your facility’s lead-placement and skin‑prep protocols. Use the built-in abrader or 3M skin‑prep products per instructions for lower skin impedance.
- - To avoid dry‑out or loss of adhesion, follow manufacturer guidance for pouch opening and storage; unused electrodes should remain in their pouch and electrodes are intended for single use only.
Limitations and incompatibilities
- - Not supplied with patient leads; sold as electrodes only. Confirm snap vs. lead compatibility with your monitoring leads before purchase.
- - MR safety: manufacturer documentation includes MR‑conditional information and cautions — check the 3M instructions for use before MRI procedures.
Warnings
- - The provided photograph supplied with this brief shows a different strip layout (visual count suggests ten pads on a sheet). Manufacturer packaging for 2570-5 is 5 electrodes per bag/strip; do not assume strip count from the image alone. Purchasers should verify pack configuration with the seller before ordering.
- - Do not use an electrode if gel is dry or detached from the pad. Replace if adhesion is poor.
- - This listing does not include any patient lead wires or accessories unless explicitly stated by the seller.
