Replacing the Glucose Sensor

If the word REPLACE is displayed on the screen along with a time that is not the current time

(i.e., the time displayed is a future time), the Sensor must be changed before the next calibration is due.

The time displayed is the end of Sensor life. If REPLACE and the current time are displayed on the

screen, then the Sensor is not working and the system is no longer sending Sensor glucose values. Change

out the Sensor immediately to continue using the Guardian RT system.

Removing the Sensor

➠ Remove dressing

➠ Pinch snap arms on sides of Glucose Sensor, and gently disconnect Transmitter Sensor Connector

from Glucose Sensor

➠ Slowly remove Glucose Sensor by pulling it parallel to the skin

➠ Throw away Sensor in Sharps or other biohazard container

NOTE -

To extend Transmitter battery life, do not leave Glucose Sensor connected to the

Transmitter when system is not in use.
