Product Description
What this product is and who it's for
- The Red Dot Micropore Paper Tape Monitoring Electrode (adult, 2.4" / ~6 cm) is a disposable ECG/monitoring electrode intended for adult patients and telemetry, ICU/CCU and Holter monitoring workflows.
Specifications
- Electrode diameter: 2.4 inches (approximately 6 cm).
- Backing: 3M Micropore® paper-tape backing (breathable, conformable paper backing).
- Gel: solid (firm) conductive gel designed to conform to skin.
- Visible connector: standard disposable snap/snap-post for lead attachment.
- Radiopacity: electrode is radiopaque as specified by the manufacturer.
- Packaging: 50 electrodes per bag; 20 bags per case (1000 electrodes per case) per manufacturer packaging table.
What is included
- - 50 loose electrodes supplied in a bulk bag (one bag = 50 electrodes) when bought as "50/bag" packaging.
- - No leadwires are included unless the product is ordered pre-wired (this listing is the non‑prewired electrode pack).
Condition and packaging
- - This listing describes the factory new, sealed retail pack (50 electrodes per bag) as published by the manufacturer and shown in vendor product pages.
Usage notes
- - Manufacturer literature states the product maintains product freshness for up to 30 days after the pouch/bag is opened; single-electrode wear times are listed by some vendors as up to three days when applied.
- - The lift tab is provided to ease removal and reduce skin stress.
Limitations and incompatibilities
- - This specific variant (MPN 2239) is the micropore paper-tape adult electrode without the built-in skin abrader; another Red Dot SKU (2249‑50) is the micropore version that explicitly includes an abrader disc. Verify SKU before ordering if an abrader is required.
- - Not a pre-wired electrode (leadwires not included) unless a pre-wired SKU is selected.
Regulatory / handling
- - Disposable single‑patient use medical electrode. Follow local infection‑control and disposal regulations.
Warnings
- - If your internal copy or supplier text mentions an "abrader disc" for this exact SKU, that conflicts with the manufacturer SKU table that shows abrader inclusion only on the separate SKU 2249‑50. See product notes and confirm SKU on vendor paperwork before stocking.
