Applying Your Sensor
1. Apply Sensors only on the back of your
upper arm. If placed in other areas, the
Sensor may not function properly and could
give inaccurate readings. The application
of the Sensor is not approved for other
sites. Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch
marks, or lumps.
Select an area of skin that generally stays
at during your normal daily activities (no
bending or folding). Choose a site that is at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) 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
following these instructions, or the Sensor
may not stay on for the full 14 day wear period.
3. Open the Sensor Pack by peeling the lid
off completely. Unscrew the cap from the
Sensor Applicator and set the cap aside.
CAUTION: Do NOT use if the
Sensor Pack or the Sensor Applicator
seem to be damaged or already
opened. Do NOT use if past expiration
date.
