What to know before using the System:
• Make sure that your Reader and Sensor kits are kept in a safe place,
under your control. This is important to help prevent anyone from
accessing or tampering with the System.
What to know about wearing the Sensor:
• Do not reuse Sensors. The Sensor and Sensor Applicator are designed for
single use. Reuse may result in no glucose readings and infection. Not
suitable for re-sterilization. Further exposure to irradiation may cause
inaccurate results.
What to know about Glucose Alarms:
• For you to receive alarms, they must be turned ON and you should
ensure that your Reader is within 6 metres (20 ft) of you at all times. The
transmission range is 6 metres (20 ft) unobstructed. If you are out of
range, you may not receive glucose alarms.
• To prevent missed alarms, make sure the Reader has sucient charge and
that sound and/or vibration are turned on.
• Alarms you receive do not include your glucose reading so you must scan
your sensor to check your glucose.

• The Reader is designed to be used only with FreeStyle Optium blood
glucose and blood ketone test strips and Optium control solution.
• The Reader is for use by a single person. It must not be used on

substances in the Reader’s USB and test strip ports.
