CP-2 is applied by adult patients at home after clinician prescription.
The user interface includes pouch label, IFU graphics, adhesive liner, and status light.
Incorrect patch orientation may reduce ECG signal quality and delay diagnosis.
Formative study FE-02 led to larger orientation arrows on the liner.
18 representative users completed application and removal scenarios.
Residual orientation risk is acceptable with revised IFU and liner markings.
Scenario HRS-03 traces to risk control RC-11 and validation task VAL-04.
