How to Store the Reader:
• Store the Reader between -4°F and 140°F. Storage in temperatures
outside of this range, such as in a parked car on a hot day, may cause
the Reader to not function properly.
When not to use the System:
• Do NOT use if the Sensor Kit package or Sensor Applicator appear to
be damaged or if tamper label indicates Sensor Applicator has already
been opened.
• Do NOT use if Sensor Kit contents are past expiration date.
• Do NOT use if the Reader appears to be damaged due to risk of
electric shock and/or no results.
What to know about the System:
• The FreeStyle Libre 3 System is intended for use by a single person.
It must not be used by more than one person due to the risk of
misinterpreting glucose information.
• FreeStyle Libre 3 app and FreeStyle Libre 3 Readers do not share data.
Before you start a Sensor, you must choose whether to use the Reader
or the App with the Sensor. Once you start a Sensor, you cannot
switch your device.
What to know before you Apply the Sensor:
• 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 wear duration specied by your Sensor insert 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.
