7.4 Replacing Your Sensor
Your Sensor automatically stops working after 14 days and must
be replaced. You should also replace your Sensor if you notice any
irritation or discomfort at the application site, or if the White Cap or App
reports a problem with the Sensor currently in use. Acting early can
keep small problems from turning into larger ones.
CAUTION:
If the Sensor is becoming loose or if the Sensor tip
is coming out of your skin, you may get no readings or unreliable
readings, which may not match how you feel. Check to make sure
your Sensor has not come loose. If it has come loose, remove it,
and apply a new one, and contact Bigfoot Customer Care at
(551) 244-3668.
1.
Pull up the edge of the adhesive that
keeps your Sensor attached to your skin.
Slowly peel away from your skin in one
motion.
Note:
Any remaining adhesive residue on
the skin can be removed with warm soapy
water or isopropyl alcohol.
2.
Discard the used Sensor following directions from your health
care provider. See
Chapter 9 - Care, Maintenance and Disposal of
Bigfoot Unity
. When you are ready to apply a new Sensor, follow
the instructions in the
Applying Your Sensor
section in this chapter.
If you removed your last Sensor before the 14 day period, you will
be prompted to confirm that you would like to start a new Sensor
using the App.
