Using Your Sensor
CAUTIONS:
• The Sensor Pack and Sensor
Applicator are packaged as a set 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.
• Intense exercise may cause your Sensor to loosen due to sweat
or movement of the Sensor. If the Sensor is becoming loose
or if the Sensor tip is coming out of your skin, you may get no
readings or unreliable low readings. Remove and replace your
Sensor if it starts to loosen and follow the instructions to select
an appropriate application site. Do not attempt to reinsert the
Sensor. Contact Bigfoot Customer Care at (551) 244-3668 if
your Sensor becomes loose or falls off before the end of the
wear period.
Applying Your Sensor
1.
Apply Sensors only on the
back of your
upper arm
. If placed in other areas,
the Sensor may not function properly
and could give inaccurate readings. The
application of the Sensor is not approved
for other sites. Avoid areas with scars,
moles, stretch marks, or lumps.
Select an area of skin that generally stays
flat during your normal daily activities (no
bending or folding). Choose a site that is at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from an insulin
injection site. To prevent discomfort or skin
irritation, you should select a different site
other than the one most recently used.
