Site selection
Choose a place on your body:
• at least 5 cm from your navel or your insulin
pump infusion site
• recommended sites: abdomen, buttocks
(not on the waistline)
For best glucose sensor performance, avoid:
• Sites where clothing may rub or constrict
(for example your beltline)
• Sites where your body naturally bends a great deal
• Sites free of lumps, bumps, bruises, tattoos, stretch marks, etc
Remember to alternate sites each time you put a new sensor in!
Before you begin insertion. . .
• It is not recommended to insert a sensor just before meals or bedtime.
(Starting a new sensor/calibrating while out of your target blood glucose range can lead
to inaccurate sensor data. Refer to your Medtronic user guides for more information.)
• Wash your hands thoroughly before starting
• You will need the following items:
* Alcohol wipes * A Medtronic Enlite glucose sensor
* A Medtronic MiniLink transmitter (charged) * A Medtronic Enlite serter device
* Overtape * Sharps bin
• Clean the insertion site with an alcohol swab. Let the area air dry
• Record the ID number from the back of the MiniLink transmitter
somewhere. You will need to enter the ID number into your
Medtronic device (rst time only) after you have inserted your
glucose sensor
• If this is the rst time you are inserting an Enlite glucose sensor,
please view the Enlite Sensor Insertion Video online at:

Glucose sensor insertion
1. Open the Enlite sensor package.
2. Remove the pedestal from the
package. Place the pedestal on a
at surface, e.g. table.
3. Push the Enlite serter down onto
the pedestal until the base of the
inserter sits at on the table.
6. To insert the Enlite sensor:
6-A Press the green button in, and
then release it. Keep holding
the serter in its place.
6-B Wait 5 seconds to allow the
adhesive time to stick to the
skin.
6-C Press and hold in the green
button.
6-D While holding the button in,
slowly lift the serter away from
the skin.
4. To detach the Enlite serter from
the pedestal, place two ngers on
the pedestal arms and slowly pull
the serter straight up.
Do not detach the pedestal from
the serter in mid-air, as this might
damage the Enlite sensor.
5. Place the base of the Enlite serter
at against your insertion site.
Warning: The Enlite serter injects
sensor upon button release.
WARNING!
Never point a loaded Enlite serter device toward any
body part where insertion is not desired.
7. Gently hold the base of the sensor
against skin using one hand.
Hold the needle housing at the
top with two ngers, and slowly
pull straight up, away from the
sensor.
Dispose of the needle housing in
a sharps bin after a single use.
• Do not clean or resterilise the needle
• Do not extract the needle from the needle housing
8. Straighten the sensor adhesive
tape so that it lies at against skin.
