• Always refer to the sensor user guide for all precautions, warnings, and instructions
relating to the sensor. Not referring to the sensor user guide can result in serious
injury or damage to the sensor.
• Do not allow children to put small parts in their mouth. This product poses a choking
hazard for young children.
• Do not change or modify the device unless expressly approved by
Medtronic Diabetes. Modifying the device can cause serious injury, interfere with your
ability to operate the device, and void your warranty.
• Do not use the tester if it comes in contact with blood. Touching blood can cause
infection. Dispose of the tester according to the local regulations for medical waste
disposal, or contact your healthcare professional for disposal information.
• Bleeding may occur after inserting the sensor. Always make sure that the site is not
bleeding before connecting the transmitter to the sensor. Blood can get into the
transmitter connector and damage the device. Discard the device if damaged. If
bleeding occurs, apply steady pressure with a sterile gauze or clean cloth at the
insertion site until bleeding stops. After bleeding stops, connect the transmitter to the
sensor.
• Contact your local representative if you experience any adverse reactions associated
with the transmitter or sensor. Adverse reactions can cause serious injury.
• Do not discard the transmitter in a medical waste container or expose it to extreme
heat. The transmitter contains a battery that may ignite and result in serious injury.
Exposure to magnetic fields and radiation
• Do not expose your transmitter to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment,
diathermy devices, or other devices that generate strong magnetic fields (for
example, x-ray, CT scan, or other types of radiation). Exposure to a strong magnetic
field has not been evaluated and can cause the device to malfunction, result in
serious injury, or be unsafe. If your transmitter is exposed to a strong magnetic field,
discontinue use and contact your local representative for further assistance.
• Always remove your sensor and transmitter before entering a room that has x-ray,
MRI, diathermy, or CT scan equipment. Exposure to a strong magnetic field has not
been evaluated and can cause the device to malfunction, result in serious injury, or
be unsafe. If your sensor or transmitter is exposed to a strong magnetic field,
discontinue use and contact your local representative for further assistance.
• Always carry the Medical emergency card provided with your device when you are
traveling. The Medical emergency card provides critical information about airport
security systems and using your transmitter safely on an airplane. Not following the
guidance on the Medical emergency card could result in serious injury.
