Make sure the area is clean and completely dry before you insert
the sensor.
2. Remove the adhesive backing from the

the white tabs on the backing. Hold the
sensor by the applicator barrel, and try

WARNING
Do not use the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System for

glucose readings. Using the sensor glucose readings

glucose value.
