PRECAUTION :
Watch for bruising or bleeding at the insertion site (under, around, or on top of the sensor and
sensor base) after applying the sensor. Bleeding is uncommon and rarely happens. If there is
bleeding or any discomforts, follow the instruction to prevent possible dangers.
1. Place sterile gauze or a clean cloth on top of the sensor and apply steady pressure for up
to three minutes. If bleeding stops, attach the transmitter to the sensor base.
2. If bleeding does not stop, do not connect the transmitter to the sensor because blood
can get into the transmitter connector, and could damage the device. If bleeding continues,
causes excessive pain or discomfort, or is significantly visible in the sensor base, remove
the sensor and apply steady pressure until bleeding is stopped.
3. Inspect the site for redness, bleeding, irritation, pain, tenderness, or inflammation and
contact your healthcare professional for further assistance.
If the sensor breaks under your skin, contact your healthcare professional for further
assistance.
5. Gently move the inserter away from your insertion site. Make sure the sensor is securely attached
to your skin.
6. Cap and discard the inserter in an appropriate puncture-proof or biohazard container according
to local regulations for sharps and blood-containing components, for safety and to prevent cross-
contamination.
