The sensor should be removed if redness, bleeding, pain, tenderness, irritation,
or inflammation develops at insertion site, or if you experience unexplained fever.
An optional occlusive dressing should be removed if irritation or reaction to the
tape develops.
The sensor may create special needs regarding your medical conditions or
medications. Discuss with your doctor before using the sensor.
Wait 5 minutes after sensor insertion before connecting the transmitter to the
sensor.
•
Make sure that the site is not bleeding before connection.
•
If bleeding occurs, apply steady pressure with a sterile gauze or clean cloth
at the insertion site until bleeding stops. After bleeding stops, attach the
MiniLink to the sensor.
•
If bleeding persists after 3 minutes, remove the sensor and discard. Insert a
new sensor in a different location.
Contact the HelpLine or your local representative listed on the enclosed
International Contact card if you experience any adverse reactions associated
with the MiniLink or sensor.
Note: The MiniLink is designed to withstand common electromagnetic
interference, including airport security systems.
Precautions
Establish a rotation schedule for choosing new sensor sites. Avoid sites that are
constrained by clothing, have scar tissue, or are subject to rigorous movement
during exercise.
