Although the Monitor is tested and complies with the applicable standards, the use of the Monitor in
close proximity to strong electromagnetic sources, such as MRI equipment, television transmitters, high-
voltage power lines, or high-power radio transmitters is not recommended.
Keep the Monitor in its leather case to protect against electrostatic discharges that are common in cold
and dry climates.
Transmitter
Establish a rotation schedule for choosing each new Transmitter site. Avoid sites that are constrained by
clothing, scar tissue, accessories or subjected to rigorous movement during exercise.
Sensor
Always wash hands with soap and water before opening the Sensor package and handling Sensor. After
opening the package, avoid touching any Sensor surfaces that will come in contact with the body. These
surfaces include: the Sensor, needle, connector adhesive surfaces and tape.
Prior to inserting the Sensor, select insertion site, and use antiseptic to cleanse site. Allow area to dry.
If you also wear an insulin pump, make sure that the Sensor insertion site is at least three (3) inches
(7.62 cm) away from the insulin infusion site. If you inject insulin, you should give injections at least
three (3) inches (7.62 cm) away from the Sensor insertion site. When replacing Sensor, select new
insertion site at least two (2) inches (5.08 cm) from previous site.
Do not insert Sensor through tape, and do not use sticky preps before insertion.
After inserting the Sensor and attaching the Transmitter, cover the Sensor site with sterile/occlusive
dressing, such as IV3000

Be aware that excessive perspiration can loosen dressing. Check dressing after any activity in which
excessive perspiration has resulted.
Establish a rotation schedule for choosing each new Sensor site. Avoid sites that are constrained by
