Whomever put in your ICD should answer your question. If you had it put in on 3/26/25 the incision would still be new and thus the EP or surgeon who put it in should advise you what you can put over it.

If you are talking about your arm but not device location that does not seem to be an issue but again this is something that should come from your medical providers.
