Starting the sensor

o start the sensor working, you must complete the following steps in order:

• Insert a battery into the transmitter's charger.

• Charge the transmitter battery.

• Set up the sensor features.

• Insert the sensor and wait five minutes.

• Connect the transmitter to the sensor.

• Start the sensor and wait two hours.

• Enter your first meter BG.

Inserting the sensor

Before inserting the sensor, you must fully charge and set up the transmitter. Also, if the sensor has been

refrigerated, remove the sensor package from refrigeration. To avoid condensation, make sure that you

allow the sensor package to reach room temperature before opening.

The sensor is inserted through the skin with an insertion device called the Sen-serter

and placed in the

fatty layer under the skin. The sensor produces a signal that reflects the amount of glucose in the

interstitial fluid at the insertion site. This signal is sent to the transmitter, which is then sent to the pump.

The pump translates the signal and displays a sensor glucose reading on your pump screen.

WARNING: The sensor may create special needs regarding your medical conditions or medications.

Please discuss these conditions and medications with your doctor before using the sensor

Bleeding, swelling, irritation and/or infections at the insertion site are possible risks associated with

inserting the sensor and may result from improper insertion and maintenance of insertion site.

Choose a site with an adequate fatty layer for sensor insertion. Be sure to

rotate the sensor sites so that they do not become overused. Shown here are

the best body areas (shaded) for sensor insertion. The clinical trials of sensor

accuracy have been based on sensors inserted in the abdominal area. Sensor

performance may differ when other insertion sites are used.

CAUTION: Never insert the sensor within 2 inches (5.0 cm) from the

infusion set insertion site or within 3 inches (7.5 cm) from the manual

injection site.
