CAUTION: Do not connect the transmitter to the sensor if bleeding at the insertion site does not stop. Active

bleeding can damage the transmitter and result in a loss of communication between the transmitter and the

receiving device.

If bleeding does not stop after three minutes of steady pressure, remove the sensor, and continue to apply steady

pressure until bleeding stops. Discard the used sensor directly into a sharps container after removal. Insert a new

sensor at a different insertion site.

Note: Always use a new insertion site to insert a new sensor. Reuse of the same insertion site can cause redness,

irritation, pain, bleeding, tenderness, and inflammation. If symptoms appear, treat according to instructions

from a healthcare professional.

Do not clean, resterilize, or attempt to remove the needle from the needle housing. Needle stick injury may occur.

Do not reuse the sensor. Reuse of the sensor can cause damage to the sensor surface and lead to inaccurate sensor

glucose values, irritation, and infection at the insertion site.

Rotate the sensor insertion site so that sites do not become overused.

Confirm that the sensor is securely placed in the serter to avoid improper insertion, pain, or minor injury.

Confirm that the sensor is firmly attached to the skin to prevent it from coming out of the insertion site. Factors that

increase the likelihood of the sensor coming out include increased physical activity (particularly in younger patients)

and improper taping technique.

Risks and side effects

The serter contains small parts and may pose a choking hazard that can result in serious injury or death.

Side effects include discomfort and skin irritation at the insertion site.

Hazardous substances

None.

Allergens

None known.

Where to insert the sensor

Choose an insertion site with a sufficient layer of subcutaneous fat.

Note: Do not insert the sensor within 5.0cm(2inches) of the navel area to avoid discomfort at the insertion site

and incomplete sensor adhesion.

For optimal sensor performance, and to prevent accidental sensor removal:

• Do not insert the sensor into muscle, tough skin, or scar tissue

• Avoid areas that are constrained by clothing or accessories

• Avoid areas that are located under a belt or waistband

• Avoid areas subjected to vigorous movement during exercise

For a diagram of recommended sensor insertion areas, see the sensor user guide.

Removing the sensor

For instructions on how to remove the sensor, see the sensor user guide.
