Reusable transmitter.
Please Note: Picture is representative
only; your transmitter may look different.
In the previous chapter, you entered your transmitter SN into your display
devices and made sure your smart device and/or receiver connected with the
transmitter. You won’t be able to start a sensor session if your transmitter isn’t
paired with your receiver and/or smart device.
Not included in packages:
1. Alcohol wipes
2. Your BG meter
3. Your test strips
Before starting, check your BG meter; make sure it’s in good working order
following manufacturer’s directions and the meter’s date and time match your
display device’s date and time.
Make sure test strips haven’t expired and work with your meter.
Before removing the sensor applicator from its sterile pack, determine the best
place to insert your sensor.
6.4 Choosing Your Insertion Site
Choose a place on your belly (or if user is between the ages of 2 and 17,
upper buttocks) to insert the sensor; the site should be either above or below
your belt line. The best areas are usually flat, “pinchable,” and free from where
rubbing can occur (along the waistband, seat belt strap, or where you lie when
sleeping).
For more help on ideal sensor insertion sites, contact your healthcare
professional.
