Applying Your Sensor
Step
Action
1
Apply Sensors only on the back of your upper
arm. Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks,
or lumps.
Select an area of skin that generally stays at
during your normal daily activities (no bending
or folding). Choose a site that is at least 2.5 cm
(1 inch) away from an insulin injection site. To
prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should
select a dierent site other than the one most
recently used.
2
Wash application site 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.
Note: The area MUST be clean and dry, or the
Sensor may not stick to the site.
