H10: device has not been returned; therefore, 3m is unable to analyze the complaint due to not enough information.The reported skin symptoms can be due to skin sensitivities to adhesive products and/or attributed to improper application or removal of the product.There is a percentage of the population who are sensitive or who may become sensitive to adhesive products.Refer to product packaging and instructions for use for proper application and removal technique.Prepare the site according to the facility's protocol.Allow all preps and protectants to dry completely before applying dressing.Application: do not stretch the dressing as tension can cause skin trauma.Removal: gently grasp an edge and slowly peel the dressing from the skin in the direction of hair growth.Avoid skin trauma by peeling the dressing back, rather than pulling it up from the skin.3m will continue to monitor.
