Cautions
The following cautions indicate conditions that may result in minor or
moderate injury to the subject.
• The Dermal Patch Sensor should be administered only by a health care
practitioner.
• Following activation, the Dermal Patch Sensor can be affixed to nearly
any flat, hairless area on the body. Placement, however, is limited to the
size of the patch. It cannot be trimmed or altered, and should not be
bent or crushed. It would, for example, be appropriate for a large
muscle of the arm or leg, or axilla, but not on the bottom of the foot or
around a bony structure such as the side of the wrist.
The following cautions indicate possible damage to the equipment, or
erroneous or incomplete data.
• Data points could be missed if you are close to radio or television
transmission sites, or other sources of electrical signals. See “EMI
Avoidance” on page-viii of this section.
• DO NOT administer a Dermal Patch Sensor after the expiration date.
• The Dermal Patch Sensor should be administered every 3 to 4 days,
when the Patch looses contact with the skin, or as directed by a health
care practitioner.
• Avoid the use of lotions and emollients in the area of the Dermal Patch
Sensor. Their use may cause the patch adhesive to loosen.
• DO NOT leave the monitor out of range of the Dermal Patch Sensor for
more than 30 minutes.
Adverse Reactions
May cause skin rash. Remove hair and clean skin before activation and
application of Patch. If discomfort occurs or rash appears, discontinue use
and notify health care practitioner.
