It was reported the patient experienced severe skin irritation causing a tear, blisters and redness.The device was not returned.Engineering evaluation was unable to be performed as the electrode/device was not returned.Allegation is unable to be confirmed as there are no images of patient skin irritation, and any skin irritation 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.
