Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 3
• 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 at 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 uid and capillary
blood may result in differences in glucose readings between the
Sensor and results from a ngerstick test using a blood glucose
meter. Differences in glucose readings between interstitial uid 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 Bigfoot Unity
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 Bigfoot Customer Care at (551) 244-3668.
• If you believe your glucose readings are not correct or are
inconsistent with how you feel, perform a blood glucose test on your
nger to conrm your glucose. If the problem continues, remove the
current Sensor, apply a new one, and contact Bigfoot Customer
Care at (551) 244-3668.
