There are no risks associated with the test. However, you should be sure not to let the monitor get wet.
Special considerations:
Electrodes must be firmly attached to the chest to permit accurate recording of the heart's activity.
Avoid magnets, metal detectors, electric blankets, and high-voltage areas while wearing the device.
