• 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 Sensor. Contact your health care provider before continuing to
use the Sensor.
• 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.
• Do NOT re-use Sensors. The Sensor and Sensor Applicator are
designed for single-use. Re-use 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 provider.
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 Sensor
• 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.
