  • Publication number: 20220117534
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system includes a patch assembly and a frame. The patch assembly includes an adhesive portion. The patch assembly is configured to be coupled to a surface of a user via the adhesive portion. The patch assembly has a first patch configuration and a second patch configuration. The frame defines an opening. The patch assembly is configured to be disposed within the opening. The frame has a first frame configuration in which the frame is coupled to the patch assembly via a group of connectors such that the frame prevents the patch assembly from transitioning between the first patch configuration and the second patch configuration. The frame has a second frame configuration in which the group of connectors are broken and the frame is separated from the patch assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220117533
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system includes a patch assembly, a frame, and a conductive component. The patch assembly is configured to be coupled to a patient via an adhesive portion. The patch assembly includes an electronics subassembly. The frame has a first frame configuration in which the frame is coupled to the patch assembly via a plurality of connectors and a second frame configuration in which the plurality of connectors are broken and the frame is separated from the patch assembly. The conductive component forms a continuous loop when the frame is in the first frame configuration. A portion of the conductive component is broken when the frame is in the second frame configuration such that the conductive component is discontinuous between the first end and the second end. The portion of the conductive component is at least partially disposed on a connector from the plurality of connectors when the frame is in the first frame configuration.
