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 capillary blood may be observed during times of
rapid change in blood glucose, such as after eating, dosing insulin, or exercising.
What to know about X-Rays:
The Sensor should be removed prior to exposing it to an X-ray machine. The
effect of X-rays on the performance of the System has not been evaluated. The
exposure may damage the Sensor and may impact proper function of the device
to detect trends and track patterns in glucose values during the wear period.
When to remove 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 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, apply a new one, and contact Customer Service.
