It was reported that the patient experienced a skin irritation while wearing the electrode - adapter - lead wire with electrode - pad - foam - vermed a10091.The electrode was unable to be inspected because it was not returned.Allegation should be considered confirmed as there are images of the patient's skin irritation and/or evidence the patient sought medical care to treat the skin irritation.The associated skin irritation is likely related to the patient reacting to the electrode adhesive and/or hydrogel.The following factor(s) were identified as having contributed to the skin irritation: intrinsic factors - known medical/dermatologic conditions.Medical adhesive related skin injury (marsi) is likely related to a biocompatibility hazard manifesting at the electrode's interface with the patient's skin.Patient reactions, such as skin irritation, resulting from biocompatibility issues are considered and assessed.Additionally, instructions for use (ifu) and patient education guides (peg) provide patients with guidance should skin irritation develop.
