Replace the Strip

1. Ensure that the chest placement location is properly prepared. See 3a. Skin preparation.
2. When applying the new Strip, allow the Strip to conform to your body. This can take as long as 2 minutes.
If the message persists, contact Preventice: 888.500.3522 (press 1, 1, 4).
b.

Chest placement location

Ensure that BodyGuardian Heart is positioned properly on the chest.
See p.9 of this manual for chest placement locations.
Ensure one of two arrows on the Strip is pointing up.
Tip: For the horizontal position, some patients acquire a better signal
when BodyGuardian Heart is placed higher up on the chest, closer
to the collarbone, to avoid fleshy tissue areas. BodyGuardian Heart
receives a higher quality signal when placed over firmer areas.
c.

Strip-to-skin adhesion

Ensure that the Strip is securely adhered to the skin without wrinkles or
bubbles. If the Strip is not securely adhered or loose edges, wrinkles,
bubbles exist, replace the Strip. When applying the Strip, apply pressure
on the gel pads to ensure good contact with the skin.
