3. • Calibration
• tcpO2 Site Selection
• Electrode Maintenance
• Interpreting Curves and Results

• Electrodes build up a layer of silver oxide during use that
must be removed
• Remembrane electrodes weekly or when they come into
contact with any sort of infectious disease (e.g. MRSA)
• Calibrate twice after remembraning
• Remembraning is performed with the supplied kit

5. Remembraning Procedure
Use O-ring removal tool Remove both O-rings Remove membrane
Clean electrode face Clean circular groove Two drops of electrolyte
solution – NO bubbles!

6. Remembraning Procedure
Insert electrode into
cartridge and compress
New membrane and
two O-rings loaded

7. Electrode Care
• Electrodes can be cleaned with the following
