General warnings

Read this entire user guide before attempting to insert the sensor. The serter does not work the same as
other Medtronic insertion devices. Failure to follow directions may result in improper insertion, pain, or
injury.
Contact the 24 Hour HelpLine or your local representative, if you have questions or concerns.
Do not make therapy decisions based on sensor glucose values because sensor glucose and blood
glucose values may differ. If your sensor glucose reading is low or high, or if you feel symptoms of low or
high glucose, do the following prior to making therapy decisions. Confirm your blood glucose with your BG
meter using a fingerstick blood sample.
A retractable needle is attached to the sensor and minimal blood splatter may occur. If you are a
healthcare professional or caregiver, wrap sterile gauze around the sensor to minimize contact with blood.
Keep as much distance as possible between you and the patient when removing the needle.
Keep the needle housing within sight at all times to avoid an accidental needlestick or puncture.
Always inspect the sensor packaging for damage before use. Sensors are sterile and non-pyrogenic,
unless the package has been opened or damaged. Do not use the sensor if the sterile package has been
opened or damaged. Use of an unsterile sensor can cause site infection.
Watch for bleeding at the insertion site (under, around, or on top of the sensor).
If bleeding occurs, do the following:
1. Apply steady pressure using sterile gauze or a clean cloth, placed on top of the sensor for up to three
minutes. The use of unsterile gauze can cause site infection.
2. If bleeding stops, connect the transmitter to the sensor.
If bleeding does not stop, do not connect the transmitter (or recorder) to the sensor because blood can
get into the transmitter connector, and could damage the device.
If bleeding continues, do the following:
1. Remove the sensor and continue to apply steady pressure until the bleeding stops. Discard the
sensor in a sharps container.
2. Check the site for redness, bleeding, irritation, pain, tenderness, or inflammation. Treat based on
instructions from your healthcare professional.
3. Insert a new sensor in a different location.
Make sure the sensor is securely placed in the serter to avoid improper insertion, pain, or minor injury.
Keep the serter away from children. This product contains small parts and may pose a choking hazard.
