After the start-up period, the Sensor can be worn for up to the wear duration specified in your Sensor Kit's product insert.
Some individuals may be sensitive to the adhesive that keeps the Sensor attached to the skin. If you notice significant skin
irritation around or under your Sensor, remove the Sensor and stop using the System. Contact your health care professional
before continuing to use the System.
Intense exercise may cause your Sensor to loosen due to sweat or movement of the Sensor. Remove and replace your Sensor if
it starts to loosen and follow the instructions to select an appropriate application site.
Do not reuse Sensors. The Sensor and Sensor Applicator are designed for single use. Reuse may result in no glucose readings
and infection. Not suitable for re‐sterilization. Further exposure to irradiation may cause inaccurate results.
If a Sensor breaks inside your body, call your health care professional.
How to Store the Sensor Kit:
Store the Sensor Kit between 39°F and 77°F. Storage outside of this range may cause inaccurate Sensor glucose readings. While
you don't need to keep your Sensor Kit in a refrigerator, you can as long as the refrigerator is between 39°F and 77°F. Do not
freeze.
Store the Sensor Kit between 10-90% non-condensing humidity.
When not to use the System:
Do NOT use if the Sensor Kit package, Sensor Pack or Sensor Applicator appear to be damaged or already opened due to risk of
no results and/or infection.
Do NOT use if Sensor Kit contents are past expiration date.
Do NOT use if the Reader appears to be damaged due to risk of electric shock and/or no results.
What to know before you Apply the Sensor:
The Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator are packaged as a set (separately from the Reader) and have the same
Sensor code. Check that the Sensor codes match before using your Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator. Do not use
Sensor Packs and Sensor Applicators with different Sensor codes together as this will result in incorrect glucose
readings.
Clean the application site and ensure that it is dry prior to Sensor insertion. This helps the Sensor stay attached to your body.
Clean hands prior to Sensor handling/insertion to help prevent infection.
Change the application site for the next Sensor application to prevent discomfort or skin irritation.
Sensor placement is not approved for sites other than the back of the arm. If placed in other areas, the Sensor may not function
properly.
