• Wash application site on the back of your upper arm using a plain soap,
dry, and then clean with an alcohol wipe. This will help remove any oily
residue that may prevent the Sensor from sticking properly. Allow site
to air dry before proceeding. Carefully preparing the site according to
these instructions will help the Sensor stay on your body for the full 14
day wear period and help prevent it from falling o early.
• Clean hands prior to Sensor handling/insertion to help prevent
infection.
• Change the application site for the next Sensor application to prevent
discomfort or skin irritation.
• Only apply the Sensor to the back of the upper arm. If placed in other
areas, the Sensor may not function properly.
• Select an appropriate Sensor site to help the Sensor stay attached to the
body and prevent discomfort or skin irritation. Avoid areas with scars,
moles, stretch marks, or lumps. Select an area of skin that generally
stays at during normal daily activities (no bending or folding). Choose
a site that is at least 1 inch away from an insulin injection site.
