Sensor Application

1

  Wash, clean, and dry before you apply your sensor

Sensor 

Application

Select site on 

back of your upper

arm.

 Do not use other sites as these 

are not approved and may result in 

inaccurate glucose readings.

Note:

 Avoid scars, moles, stretch 

marks, lumps, and insulin injection 

sites. To prevent skin irritation, 

rotate sites between applications.

STEP 1

Place sensor applicator over site

and push down fi rmly to apply

sensor.

CAUTION:

 Do not push down on 

sensor applicator until placed 

over prepared site to prevent 

unintended results or injury.

STEP 7

Wash application site using 

a plain soap, dry, and then 

clean with an alcohol wipe. 

This will help remove any oily 

residue that may prevent the 

Sensor from sticking properly. 

Allow site to completely 

dry before proceeding. 

STEP 2

Lift sensor applicator 

straight out of 

sensor pack.

STEP 5

Gently pull back 

applicator to remove, 

leaving sensor on 

body.

STEP 8

Peel lid completely 

off  sensor pack. 

Unscrew cap from 

sensor applicator. 

CAUTION:

 Sensor 

codes must match 

on sensor pack and 

sensor applicator 

or glucose readings 

will be incorrect.

STEP 3

Sensor applicator is 

ready to apply sensor. 

CAUTION:

 Sensor 

applicator now contains 

a needle. Do not touch 

inside sensor applicator 

or put it back into 

sensor pack.

STEP 6

Make sure sensor is 

secure by gently pressing 

adhesive to the skin. 

Discard used sensor 

applicator and sensor 

pack according to local 

regulations.

STEP 9

Line up dark mark on sensor 

applicator with dark mark on 

sensor pack. On a hard 

surface, press down fi rmly 

on sensor applicator until it 

comes to a stop.

STEP 4

TIP:

 Assemble on a hard surface, such as a table.

TIP:

The area MUST be clean and dry or the Sensor 

may not stay on for the full 14 day wear period.
