02ring (Wellue) issue

02ring (Wellue) issue
Hi all. I have just started using the Wellue 02ring and I find that after wearing it through the night my skin, where it has made contact throughout the night, is red and itchy the whole of the following day. Is this a known issue for some and if so, is there anything I can do other than stop wearing it? I have never been sensitive to anything that would irritate my skin like this does.

RE: 02ring (Wellue) issue
Because of the sporadic reporting of this issue, I am wondering if these particular devices weren't properly cleaned at the factory. Electronics manufacturing uses some wild chemicals. This was brought home several years ago when I was in a plant that had cyanide respirators every 8 feet. I think I'd try a thorough wiping of the ring with alcohol to see if that helps.

Good luck!

That does not sound too good at all!! I've just finished giving it a good, thorough clean with isopropyl. I'll let you know how it turns out.
