Removing Your Sensor
Step
Action
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 . See
Disposal
section .
When you are ready to apply a new Sensor, follow the
instructions in the
Applying Your Sensor
and
Starting Your Sensor
sections . If you removed your last Sensor before 14 days of use,
you will be prompted to confirm that you would like to start a
new Sensor when you first scan it .
Replacing Your Sensor
Your Sensor automatically stops working after 14 days of wear and
must be replaced . You should also replace your Sensor if you notice any
irritation or discomfort at the application site or if the Reader reports a
problem with the Sensor currently in use . Taking action early can keep
small problems from turning into larger ones .
CAUTION:
If the glucose readings from the Sensor do NOT
seem to match with how you feel, check to make sure that your
Sensor has not come loose . If the Sensor tip has come out of
your skin, or your Sensor is coming loose, remove the Sensor
and apply a new one .
