6.2 REMOVING THE SENSOR FROM ITS
PACKAGING
• Wash your hands thoroughly, and dry them.
Carefully remove the sensor from its packaging. Look closely at the
sensor to make sure it is not damaged.
• The applicator is for single use and is disposable.
The safety lock prevents you from releasing the needle accidentally
before you are ready.
PRECAUTION
Do not use the sensor if its sterile package has been
damaged or opened. Using an unsterile sensor might
cause infection.
