▪ providing data to guide treatment decisions (for example,
pharmacological or procedural/device-based treatments) and
assessing treatment results in patients with non-life threatening
arrhythmias
Contraindications
▪ patients with known allergies or hypersensitivities to adhesives
or hydrogel
▪ patients with potentially life-threatening arrhythmias, or who
require inpatient / hospital monitoring
Precautions
▪ Minute ventilation sensing on implantable devices should be
disabled for the duration of Wearable Sensor usage.
▪ The Wearable Sensor should be removed prior to external
defibrillation or an MRI scan.
▪ The Wearable Sensor may cause mild discomfort, skin
irritation, redness, itching, rash, or contact dermatitis in some
individuals. The device should be removed if any pain or
discomfort occurs. If skin irritation or redness persists after the
device has been removed, a topical anti-inflammatory cream
may be applied to the area (in consultation with your health
care provider).

should not be reapplied it if peels off or is removed (that is, it is
meant for one-time use).
▪ The Wearable Sensor should not be applied to broken,
damaged, or irritated skin.
▪ The Wearable Sensor is water resistant but not waterproof. It
should not be submerged in water (showering is acceptable,
but swimming and submersion bathing are prohibited).
▪ The Wearable Sensor should not be disassembled.
▪ Do not apply the Wearable Sensor if it appears damaged upon
receipt.
▪ No creams or lotions should be applied to the skin immediately
prior to the application of the Wearable Sensor.
▪ Store the Wearable Sensor in a cool, dry location. The device
is designed to withstand environmental temperature
fluctuations between -4 °F to 149 °F (-20 °C to 65 °C).
▪ The system has not been fully evaluated for use with infants
weighing less than 22 pounds (9.9 kilograms).
▪ The system is not designed to detect pacemaker spikes.
Warning
