Adhesive Overlay Features
Your healthcare provider may recommend that you apply
an optional adhesive overlay to help the VitalPatch stay
adhered to the skin. Use only the provided adhesive
overlays.
If you are not using an Adhesive Overlay, skip to
to pair your new VitalPatch with
VistaPoint.
Note:
DO NOT use other adhesives, overlays or tape.
1. Prepare Skin
Clean the skin around the VitalPatch with an alcohol pad.
2. Peel Up One Corner of White Liner
Before applying the overlay, peel up one corner of the
white top liner, and bend it back. This creates a tab that
will help you remove the top liner later. See figure to the
right.
3. Place the Adhesive Overlay Over VitalPatch
a.
Position the adhesive overlay over the VitalPatch,
with the blue liners against the chest. The raised
portions of the VitalPatch should be aligned with the
cutouts of the overlay. See figure to the right.
b.
Ensure the tab you created in the previous step is on
the top side (pointing towards your head).
4. Remove Blue Liners
a.
Hold the overlay against your chest with one hand
and peel away the lower blue liner. Press the overlay
against the skin as the liner is removed
b.
Repeat to remove the second blue liner. After both
blue liners are removed, press firmly on the entire
surface of the overlay.
5. Peel Off Top White Liner and Seal Edges
a. Peel off the top white liner starting with the tab you
created in
Step 2 above
. Gently press the overlay
against the skin with your other hand as you remove
the liner.
b. Press firmly down on the overlay to seal all edges.
c.
Discard the blue and white liners.
