FAQ
I think the Sensor is causing me to have yeast infections,
cystitis or another infection. What should I do?
Stop using the Sensor, and if the irritation is still noticeable
after more than 48 hours you should consult your doctor. If
you notice a return of symptoms then you should stop using
OvuSense altogether.
Can I sterilize the Sensor using sterilizing solutions?
No, the Sensor material is designed from specific
biocompatible materials that prevent the growth of bacteria,
and simple washing with soap and water is sufficient to
maintain this material properly. Use of sterilizing solutions,
alcohol wipes or sanitizing gels may damage the Sensor
material.
I am unwell and I'm running a temperature.
Will this affect the readings?
No, OvuSense has an intelligent filtering system that removes
"spikes" in the data. However, if you have been running a
fever for more than two days use the “Your Health” option on
the main menu to input the date on which the fever started.
The personal Sensor is uncomfortable when I use it. What
should I do?
Check that you are inserting the Sensor properly so that a
portion or all of the tail is outside of the vagina. You can also
use a small amount of aqueous based lubricant (such as KY
Jelly™) to help make insertion and “wearing” of the Sensor
more comfortable. If the discomfort persists, then you should
stop using the Sensor for a couple of days. If the discomfort
returns after you start using it again then you should stop
using the OvuSense system altogether.
