Step 1: Clean the skin around the patch

• If you just applied the patch and the skin is still clean, you can skip to the next step.
• Use an alcohol wipe from your kit (blue pouch) to clean the skin around the patch. Allow the skin to dry.

Step 2: Remove the overlay from the pouch

• Locate the adhesive overlay in the kit. Use scissors to cut off one side of the pouch.
• Remove the overlay from the pouch.

Step 3: Create a tab

• Locate the angled corner of the adhesive overlay.
• At the angled corner, bend up a small (half inch) piece of the white liner to create a tab. This will help you remove the liner later.

DO NOT remove the liner. You are only making a tab in this step.

Step 4: Place over VitalPatch

• Place the adhesive overlay over the patch with the blue side against the skin. The tab you created should be on top.
• Align the cutouts of the adhesive overlay with the raised portions of the patch.

Step 5: Remove blue liners

• Hold one side of the overlay firmly in place.
• With your other hand, grab the blue liner on the other side of the overlay. Slowly pull the blue liner away.
• Repeat to remove the other blue liner, making sure to hold the overlay firmly in place.

Step 6: Press down

• Press down all sides of the adhesive overlay to adhere it to the skin and your patch.

Step 7: Peel off top white liner

• Slowly peel off the top white liner starting with the bent tab.
• Press the overlay against your skin and the patch with your other hand as you continue to remove all of the white liner.

Step 8: Seal edges

• Press down on the overlay to seal all the edges against your skin and against the patch.
• The overlay is now applied to the patch. Note that the adhesive overlay does not need to be replaced until you apply a new patch.
