Event Description
Noticed our daughter was breaking out in a horrible rash all over her chest and stomach, in reaction to the adhesive in the sensor strip, and the site was very red and angry looking, with a perfect indentation of the patch, when we removed it from her abdomen at the 10 day mark.We cleaned the other side of her abdomen and placed a new sensor but after 3 days, had to discontinue the continuous monitor all together due to the itching and severity of the rash.The second site was also red and angry looking, even after just 3 days use.We have spent the last week trying to clear up her skin and keep her reaction from going systemic.She began to break out in the rash on her face and back of her arms as well.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
