•
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 unreliable low results.
•
If a Sensor breaks inside your body, call your health care professional.
How to Store the Sensor Kit:
•
Store the Sensor Kit between 36°F and 82°F. Storage outside of this range may cause inaccurate Sensor glucose readings.
•
If you suspect that the temperature may exceed 82°F (for example, in an un-airconditioned home in summer), you should refrigerate your
Sensor Kit. Do not freeze your Sensor Kit.
•
Store your Sensor Kit in a cool, dry place. Do not store your Sensor Kit in a parked car on a hot day.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Only apply the Sensor to the back of the upper arm. If placed in other areas, the Sensor may not function properly.
•
Select an appropriate Sensor site to help the Sensor stay attached to the body and prevent discomfort or skin irritation. Avoid areas with
scars, moles, stretch marks, or lumps. Select an area of skin that generally stays flat during normal daily activities (no bending or folding).
Choose a site that is at least 1 inch away from an insulin injection site.
When is Sensor Glucose different from Blood Glucose:
•
Physiological differences between the interstitial fluid and capillary blood may result in differences in glucose readings between the
System and results from a fingerstick test using a blood glucose meter. Differences in glucose readings between interstitial fluid and
