FAQ: BlueSensor™
Frequently Asked Questions About ECG Electrodes for Hospitals & Clinics
1. What makes Ambu’s ECG electrodes the top choice for cardiac stress testing?
- Offset Connector: minimizes motion artifacts for a clear study through the duration of testing
- Wet gel technology: goes further and does more to optimize contact between skin and electrode making it highly conductive
- Advanced adhesion: outer ring stays secure even when sweat, hair, and movement is present
2. Are Ambu’s ECG electrodes comfortable for patients?
Yes, our electrodes feature a skin-friendly adhesive. This provides a secure yet comfortable fit throughout testing without unnecessary pressure or pain. Our long-term BlueSensors feature a double ring adhesive with the inner ring securing the conductive gel and outer ring increasing in adhesion with time.
3. What application features make them user-friendly for clinicians?
The Offset tab design allows the user to connect and disconnect the lead wire without applying pressure to the patient or the sensor area. The visible release liner also reduces handling errors.
4. What evidence supports their performance?
A study conducted by Ambu demonstrated that BlueSensor’s offset design effectively reduces noise and motion artifacts when compared to standard center-snap models, delivering clear ECG traces and stable monitoring—critical for reliable diagnostics in cardiac stress testing.
5. Does Ambu offer any other BlueSensors for cardiac monitoring and testing?
Yes! Ambu has a wide variety of BlueSensors for clinical applications including Holter, Long Term, Resting, and Pediatric/Neonatal applications. Check out the full catalog for more information.
