Does the discoloration on the EmotiBit electrode affect its performance?

Created by Nitin Nair, Modified on Fri, 13 Dec, 2024 at 2:58 PM by David ten Have

The discoloration on some electrodes results from the manufacturing process and does not indicate corrosion. 


The electrodes have been extensively tested with EmotiBit to validate performance. Here is a link to our validation paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measen.2024.101075


The electrodes are coated with Ag-AgCl for its Biocompatibility, stability, low-noise, and low skin-electrode impedance. For reference, see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5597189/.


Device safety and protection information

EmotiBit has been designed and tested for safety of use.


The device operates on a low-voltage battery and wirelessly transmits data with zero risk of electrical shock from power mains. Each device is factory-tested for functional insulation, and short-circuit prevention.


During use, continuous temperature sensing protects from overheating. 


Materials and methods used in the device are determined to provide irritant-free body contact utilizing ISO 10993-5 and UL-certified conformal coating compliant with RoHS directive 2015/863/EU, individually inspected with UV fluorescence. 


The EmotiBit device is used in conjunction with a replaceable PET plastic barrier and replaceable Ag/AgCl electrodes designed for medical applications that aim to provide hygienic, hypoallergenic and irritant-free contact with the skin.
