While showering with the ECG patch, consider the following instructions:
- Protect the patch: ECG patch is water-resistant and shower-proof, though it is advisable to protect it during high-pressure showers. Cover the patch with a waterproof adhesive bandage or use a plastic wrap to shield it from direct water exposure.
- Be cautious with excessive moisture: Even if the ECG patch is water-resistant, excessive moisture can affect the adhesive. Avoid exposing the patch to prolonged or high-pressure water, such as direct water streams from showerheads, to prevent potential loosening or detachment.
- Pat-dry gently: After showering, pat dry the surrounding skin area with a towel rather than rubbing it, as rubbing can inadvertently dislodge or damage the patch. Take care to avoid the patch while drying the skin.
Note: It is crucial to review the specific instructions provided by the ECG patch regarding showering or water exposure to ensure proper care and maintenance while wearing the patch.
