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.
Areas to avoid:
• Frequently used injection or pump/sensor sites
• 2-inch (5.0 cm) area around navel
• Site where clothing will rub or constrict
• Scarred or hardened tissue
• Areas subjected to a lot of movement
Clean site with alcohol, making sure site is dry before inserting the sensor. Do not use skin-preparation
solutions prior to insertion. However, I.V. Prep may be used after insertion and before applying a sterile
dressing. Lift back of tape slightly to apply I.V. Prep.
Always refer to the instructions that shipped with your glucose sensor.
