Applying Your Sensor
Step
Action
1
Apply Sensors only on the back of your upper
arm . Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks,
or lumps .
Select an area of skin that generally stays flat
during your normal daily activities (no bending
or folding) . Choose a site that is at least 2 .5 cm
(1 inch) away from an insulin injection site . To
prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should
select a different site other than the one most
recently used .
2
Wash application site 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 .
Note:
The area
MUST
be clean and dry, or the
Sensor may not stick to the site .
Using Your Sensor
CAUTION:
•
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 . Sensor Packs and Sensor
Applicators with the same Sensor code
should be used together or your Sensor
glucose readings may be incorrect .
•
Intense exercise may cause your Sensor
to loosen due to sweat or movement of the
Sensor . If your Sensor comes loose, you may get no
readings or unreliable readings, which may not match how
you feel . Follow the instructions to select an appropriate
application site .
