Wash application site on the back of your upper arm using a plain soap, dry,
and then clean with an alcohol wipe. This will help remove any oily residue
that may prevent the Sensor from sticking properly. Allow site to air dry before
proceeding. Carefully preparing the site according to these instructions will
help the Sensor stay on your body for the full wear duration specified by your
Sensor insert and help prevent it from falling o! early.
Clean hands prior to Sensor handling/insertion to help prevent infection.
Change the application site for the next Sensor application to prevent
discomfort or skin irritation.
Only apply the Sensor to the back of the upper arm. If placed in other areas,
the Sensor may not function properly.
Select an appropriate Sensor site to help the Sensor stay attached to the body
and prevent discomfort or skin irritation. Avoid areas with scars, moles,
stretch marks, or lumps. Select an area of skin that generally stays flat during
normal daily activities (no bending or folding). Choose a site that is at least 1
inch away from an insulin injection site.
When is Sensor Glucose di!erent from Blood Glucose:
Physiological di!erences between the interstitial fluid and capillary blood may
result in di!erences in glucose readings between the System and results from
a fingerstick test using a blood glucose meter. Di!erences in glucose readings
between interstitial fluid and capillary blood may be observed during times of
rapid change in blood glucose, such as after eating, dosing insulin, or
exercising.
