I was in severe pain and received severe burns under the electrode pads provided to me by (b)(4) while wearing the (b)(4) bodyguardian heart monitor.I wore the device from (b)(6) 2018 as prescribed by my cardiologist.I contacted the company and told them about the burns.They told me that they could send me other pads if i wanted them to continue on with my study.I informed them that their product should not injure a pt (obviously).Their response was "yeah".I refused the new pads and removed the monitor permanently.I reported the incident to my cardiologist as well.The skin that was burned scabbed over and i now have what looks to be a permanent scar in the center of my chest.Photos are available upon request.
