Device for monitoring the condition of an electrode pair

Abstract

Device (1) for monitoring the condition of an electrode pair, in particular for defibrillation devices, comprising: - a carrier (2) with a first side (3) and a second side (4), wherein a first electrode (5) of the electrode pair can be arranged on the first side (3) and a second electrode (6) of the electrode pair can be arranged on the second side (4), - wherein at least one connecting element (7) is provided in the carrier (2), via which an electrical connection can be established between the first electrode (5) and the second electrode (6), preferably between contact media (5a, 6a) of the first electrode (5) and the second electrode (6), wherein the at least one connecting element (7) comprises an electrically conductive gel, preferably consisting of an electrically conductive gel.
