Claim:
1. A method for testing sensors to be applied on a patient's skin for detection of liquid or moisture, the sensors comprising an electrically conductive structure with electrical terminals, wherein electrical properties of the sensors are measured under defined conditions and compared with electrical properties preset as a reference value, the method comprising: removing at least one sensor from production, applying the at least one sensor onto a surface of an elastic body, wherein the elastic body is an elastic torsion body, repeatedly deforming the elastic body, wherein the repeatedly deforming includes repeatedly twisting, and after the repeated deformation of the elastic body, comparing the measured electrical properties with the preset electrical properties, determining that the at least one sensor is faulty based on deviations between the measured electrical properties and the preset electrical properties of the at least one sensor.
