16. Inspect the housing of the transmitter for any signs of cracking, flaking, or damage. If you see any
of these signs, you must now discard the disinfected transmitter according to local regulations
for battery disposal (non-incineration).
WARNING: Do not use the device if you see any cracking, flaking, or damage to the
housing. Cracking, flaking, or damage to the housing are signs of deterioration.
Deterioration of the housing can affect the ability to properly clean the transmitter and
result in serious injury. Call your local representative and discard the device according
to local regulations for battery disposal (non-incineration), or contact your healthcare
professional for disposal information.
17. Discard the used gloves and thoroughly wash hands with soap and water.
Removing adhesive residue
You may need to perform this procedure if there is adhesive residue present on the transmitter. If you
visually inspect the transmitter and see adhesive residue on it, follow these instructions.
To remove adhesive residue, you need cotton swabs and a medical adhesive remover such as
Detachol™*, which is a mineral spirit.
Note: During testing, Medtronic MiniMed used Detachol™* to remove the adhesive residue from
the transmitter. Detachol™* is recommended for use but may not be available in all countries.
To remove adhesive residue:
1. Make sure the tester is attached to the transmitter.
2. Soak a cotton swab in the medical adhesive remover.
3. Hold the tester and gently rub the adhesive remover on the transmitter until the residue is
removed.
