Starting a Sensor
1. Sensor Start
Once the sensor is inserted under the skin:
WAIT • 5-15 minutes; this is the time required for
the sensor to be wetted with interstitial uid.
REMOVE • the MiniLink transmitter from its
charger: it will ash green. Wait 1 minute.
CONNECT • the MiniLink transmitter to the
sensor; the MiniLink will ash green again = ok.
PRESS ACT • > Main Menu > Sensor > Link to
Sensor > New Sensor
PRESS ACT • > SENSOR READY 2 HRS (initialising)
(Note: you will not be able to view any sensor
readings until after 2 hours.)
2. Sensor Initialisation
2 hours later the METER BG NOW alarm should
sound; CLEAR the alarm:
, then:
A C T
TAKE • a blood glucose meter test and ENTER the
value into the pump.
ACT
• > Main Menu > Sensor > Enter BG > Use
to enter blood glucose, and then press
A C T
.
Your CGM is displayed in about 15 minutes on the •
graph screen.
3. Sensor Calibration
A SECOND BLOOD GLUCOSE calibration will be
needed in the following 6 hours. Blood glucose
CALIBRATION will then be required every 12
hours
The glucose sensor reads the glucose content in
the interstitial uid under your skin. Calibration
is a process to assist in determining the correct
interstitial glucose values. The Paradigm Veo system
will need a minimum of 2 and maximum of 4 BG
measurements per day for calibration.
GETTING CONTROL
WARNING
ALWAYS USE the same blood glucose meter. •
ALWAYS CALIBRATE • when your blood glucose is
stable.
DO NOT CALIBRATE if your blood glucose is changing •
rapidly, i.e. soon after a meal, and/or if there is an
alert present or trend arrows are present.
REMEMBER TO CALIBRATE the sensor before going •
to bed so that you do not have to get up during
the night.
If you have any questions or concerns, please •
consult your healthcare professional before making
therapy adjustments.
