Abstract: The invention relates to a testing device for checking at least one first medical electrode (1), wherein the testing device comprises at least one first measuring electrode (2), which can be arranged relative to the first medical electrode (1) to be checked in such a way that the at least one first measuring electrode (2) and the first medical electrode (1) to be checked form a first capacitance (C11); a signal generating device (3), by way of which an alternating current voltage can be generated, by means of which the first capacitance (Cn) can be acted upon; an evaluation device (4), which is designed to determine at least one first test result (P11) in relation to the first capacitance (C11) from a measured impedance curve (I) of an impedance caused in response to the first capacitance (C11).

Abstract: An electrode set is disclosed for a defibrillator, the set including at least two electrodes each having a carrier layer, a conductive contact layer, a conductive gel layer, and a non-conductive electrode cover. In the storage state of the electrode set, the electrode covers lie against each other in a planar relationship at least portion-wise, on the side that is remote from the gel layer of the at least two electrodes. The gel layers of the electrodes are directly in contact with each other in a portion-wise manner by way of two openings in the electrode covers.
