Alarms you receive do not include your glucose reading so you must scan your Sensor to check your glucose.
What to know before using the System:
•
Review all product information before use.
•
Take standard precautions for transmission of blood borne pathogens to avoid contamination.
•
Make sure that your Reader and Sensor kits are kept in a safe place, under your control. This is important to help prevent anyone from
accessing or tampering with the System.
Who should not use the System:
•
Do not use the System in people less than 4 years of age. The System is not cleared for use in people under 4 years of age.
•
Do not use the System if you are pregnant, on dialysis, or critically ill.
The System is not cleared for use in these groups and it is not
known how different conditions or medications common to these populations may affect performance of the System.
•
Performance of the System when used with other implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers, has not been evaluated.
What should you know about wearing a Sensor:
•
Wash application site on the back of your upper arm 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 air dry before proceeding. Carefully preparing the site
according to these instructions will help the Sensor stay on your body for the full 14 day wear period and help prevent it from falling off early.
•
The Sensor can be worn for up to 14 days. Remember to always have your next Sensor available before your current one ends so you can
keep getting your glucose readings.
•
You must scan the Sensor to get your real-time current glucose level as the Reader will not provide this information without a scan.
•
In the event that your Sensor stops working and you do not have another Sensor readily available, you must use an alternate method to
measure your glucose levels and inform your treatment decisions.
•
The System is designed to detect certain conditions which may occur where the Sensor is not working as intended and shut it off, telling
you to replace your Sensor. This may occur if the Sensor gets knocked off from the skin or if the System detects that the Sensor may not
be performing as intended. Contact Customer Service if you receive a Replace Sensor message before the end of the 14 day wear period.
Customer Service is available at 1-855-632-8658 7 Days a Week from 8AM to 8PM Eastern Standard Time.
•
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. 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 Customer
Service if your Sensor becomes loose or falls off before the end of the wear period. Customer Service is available at 1-855-632-8658
