4 Steps to Apply Sensor
Sensors stick better when you wash, clean, and dry your
arm before application.
01
Selecting a Sensor Site
Select an area on the back of your upper arm that generally
stays fl at (no bending or folding). Choose a site that is at least
1 inch (2.5 cm) away from an insulin injection site. Prevent
discomfort or skin irritation by selecting a site other than the
one most recently used. Make sure the site is clean-shaven to
avoid interference with the sensor.
02
Preparing the Skin’s Surface
Only use non-moisturizing, fragrance-free soap to wash the area
where you’ll apply the sensor. Use the alcohol wipe provided in
the sensor kit to remove any oily residue. Allow your skin to
fully dry before applying the sensor. This is especially important
if you plan to apply the sensor after you shower or swim.
