• Do NOT use if the Reader appears to be damaged due to risk of
electric shock and/or no results.
What to know before you Apply the Sensor:
• The Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator are packaged as a set
(separately from the Reader) and have the same Sensor code. Check
that the Sensor codes match before using your Sensor Pack and
Sensor Applicator. Do not use Sensor Packs and Sensor Applicators
with dierent Sensor codes together as this will result in incorrect
glucose readings.
• Wash application site on the back of your upper arm using a plain
soap, dry, and then clean with an alcohol wipe. This will help remove
any oily residue that may prevent the Sensor from sticking properly.
Allow site to air dry before proceeding. Carefully preparing the site
according to these instructions will help the Sensor stay on your body
for the full 14 day wear period and help prevent it from falling o
early.
• Clean hands prior to Sensor handling/insertion to help prevent
infection.
• Change the application site for the next Sensor application to prevent
discomfort or skin irritation.
• Only apply the Sensor to the back of the upper arm. If placed in other
areas, the Sensor may not function properly.
• Select an appropriate Sensor site to help the Sensor stay attached
to the body and prevent discomfort or skin irritation. Avoid areas
with scars, moles, stretch marks, or lumps. Select an area of skin
that generally stays at during normal daily activities (no bending
or folding). Choose a site that is at least 1 inch away from an insulin
injection site.
When is Sensor Glucose dierent from Blood Glucose:
• Physiological dierences between the interstitial uid and capillary
blood may result in dierences in glucose readings between the
System and results from a ngerstick test using a blood glucose meter.
Dierences in glucose readings between interstitial uid and capillary
blood may be observed during times of rapid change in blood
glucose, such as after eating, dosing insulin, or exercising.
What to know about X-Rays:
• The Sensor should be removed prior to exposing it to an X-ray
machine. The eect of X-rays on the performance of the System
has not been evaluated. The exposure may damage the Sensor and
may impact proper function of the device to detect trends and track
patterns in glucose values during the wear period.
