The user went off-label not checking the sensor site at the recommended intervals.From photo evidence it is apparent that two sizes of sensors were used together which is not a typical practice and one of those was used incorrectly by the ifu.Also, photo evidence shows the delivery of lasix indicating a treatment for edema, which the ifu cautions to be aware of so as not to over tighten the sensor holding headband and possibly creating an over pressure injury.
