PRECAUTION
To calibrate the system, enter the exact blood glucose value that your blood
glucose meter displays within 5 minutes of a carefully performed blood glucose
measurement. Entering incorrect blood glucose values or blood glucose values
from more than 5 minutes before entry might affect sensor performance, and you
might miss a low or high blood glucose value.
Only use blood glucose values between 40-400 mg/dL for calibration. If the blood glucose value you enter is
outside of this range, the receiver will not calibrate. You must wait until your blood glucose is in this range to
calibrate.
These steps show you how to enter your blood glucose values for calibration:
1. Wash and dry your hands, make sure your glucose test strips are not expired and have been stored
properly, and make sure your meter is properly coded (if required).
2. Take a blood glucose measurement using your meter.
• Carefully apply the blood sample to the test strip following your meter or test strip instructions.
3. From any trend graph, press the
SELECT
button to see the Main Menu.
4. Use the
UP
or
DOWN
button to scroll until you highlight “Enter BG”.
• “Enter BG” will be the second Main Menu option when you are in the middle of a sensor session.
5. Press the
SELECT
button to choose this option. You will see a screen with a blood drop and a number in
mg/dL units.
a. When the receiver does not have a recent sensor glucose reading the default is 120 mg/dL.
b. If there has been a sensor glucose reading in the past 15 minutes, the Enter BG screen shows your
current sensor glucose reading.
Do not use the current sensor glucose reading for calibration.
Use
only blood glucose values from your meter.
6. Use the
UP
or
DOWN
button to scroll until you see the correct blood glucose value, and then press the
SELECT
button.
