First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of conditioning skin to reduce artifact in bioelectric signal monitoring through an electrode on skin comprising the steps of:
- a) placing the electrode on the skin; and
b) conditioning the skin beneath the electrode by passing electrical energy at a rate of about 5 μ
A/cm2 to about 5 mA/cm2 through the electrode and into the skin using a ramped conditioning current to reduce skin impedance.
