Per investigation of events, the patient first started using the device on (b)(6) 2019, after receiving it from the clinic.The patient/caregiver indicated that the electrodes (vermed a10091-5) were changed every two days after showering and letting the skin air dry.Hibiclens wipes were used to clean the skin.Skin irritation and reddening developed, with gradual worsening over the course of six days (no skin breakage).On (b)(6) 2019, the patient/caregiver went to the clinic for observation/counseling and asked for another type of electrode to wear.The clinic provider square cloth electrodes (vermed vmh361 rev.B) that had been provided by distributor (cardionet), due to skin irritation.The skin irritation worsened, with skin breakage, oozing, redness and pain.The cloth electrodes were changed every day after showering, as they would not stay on in the shower.The patient's caregiver did not treat the broken skin, except keeping it clean and dry.It was reported that ointments appeared to irritate the skin.The skin appears to be healing.The affected device has not been returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.No additional information is known to braemar manufacturing, llc at this time.
