Engineering evaluation was unable to be performed as the electrode/device was not returned.Allegation is confirmed through images of patient skin irritation and is most probable to be a bio-incompatibility issue with the electrode adhesive.Marsi, skin burn, and associated symptoms may inherently occur under the course of ecg monitoring.No single factor or combination of factors can be attributable to electrode skin irritation and associated symptoms.The product labeling advises patients of alternate options and other steps to take if skin irritation develops, including healthcare professional contact as needed.
