IMPORTANT: Each Wearable Sensor should be worn
continuously until the two red lights behind the circle with the
crossed line are seen. This may take up to 7.5 days, but could be
less. Once it has been removed, do not reapply the removed
Wearable Sensor as this will affect monitoring (that is, it is
meant for one-time use only). Please call Medtronic Customer
Support at 1-877-247-7449 if you have any questions about when
to remove the Wearable Sensor.
How to remove the Wearable Sensor
▪ Grasp an edge of the Wearable Sensor with one hand and
begin to peel it away from your skin.
▪ Using the other hand, slowly and gently push the skin away
from the Wearable Sensor as it is removed.
IMPORTANT: Rapid removal can cause skin irritation. If irritation
persists after Wearable Sensor removal, consult your healthcare
provider for topical treatment options.
What to do with a used Wearable Sensor
▪ Do not dispose of used Wearable Sensors. See the following
section for instructions.
▪ The Wearable Sensor has a Lithium battery and must not be
disposed of in a fire.
What to do at the end of monitoring
When your prescription is complete, you must return all of your
Wearable Sensors, the Transmitter, the Transmitter Charger, and
the Transmitter Case, to avoid being billed for the value of the
system. Follow the steps below to return the components to
Medtronic:
▪ Remove the postal return label provided in the original box.
• If you see a single blinking green
light within the filled circle symbol
, this means the Wearable
Sensor is working properly. You
should continue to wear the
device.
• If you also see two red lights within
the circle with a crossed line
symbol , you should remove
and replace the device with a new
Wearable Sensor (unless your
monitoring period is over).
