Avoid bathing for 24 hours after the monitor is applied. You may shower while wearing the CAM patch, but try to keep the showers short. Do not stand with the water stream directly on the CAM Patch; keep soap and direct spray of water on your back, away from the monitor. The monitor is water resistant, but not waterproof. You may not submerge in water for baths.

There are two options to return the CAM patch; you will either return it to your doctor’s office or return it by mail.

It is preferred that you wear a sports bra or tank top, and avoid underwire bras if possible. A bra can be worn as long as it does not rub along the very bottom portion of the monitor. Avoid wearing necklaces that contact the CAM patch.
When the wear period is complete, gently press your fingers against the skin, and using either tab end of the patch adhesive, slowly peel the CAM patch away from the skin. Wipe the skin and CAM patch with provided Adhesive Removal Wipe Pad.
Slight peeling on the edges of the CAM patch is normal and nothing to worry about. If the CAM Patch loosens, press and rub the adhesive portions of the CAM Patch back in place. First-aid tape and band-aids may be used to secure the monitor. If you continue to have difficulty, please contact your doctor.
If your patch has fallen off, it is usually due to it not bonding to your skin properly. This may be caused by improper application or too much skin moisture. Please try to keep your skin dry and reapply the device. If still not staying attached, consult your physician about other options.
It is normal to experience mild itching while wearing the CAM patch; however, if you experience severe itching, irritation, or develop hives or blisters on the skin please contact your doctor.
Press the button once gently, when you experience a symptom. Make sure to write down and record the day, time and symptom in the patient diary. Do not press the button more than once when experiencing a symptom. If you forget to push the button when experiencing a symptom, it’s okay; the CAM patch is continuously recording activity.
Call your doctor’s office for instructions. You may also download a copy from the Resources page.
