PRECAUTION
Do: Choose your patient’s sensor insertion site carefully.
Choose a site:
• At least 3 inches from insulin pump infusion set or injection site
• Away from waistband, muscles, scarring, tattoos, irritation,
and bones
• Unlikely to be bumped, pushed, or laid on when sleeping
Why: Inserting the sensor in these areas may affect sensor
glucose readings.
Consequences: Your patient could have a severe low or high
glucose event.
Optional: Help Patch Stay On
Are you concerned about the patch not sticking on your patient? There
are two ways to help keep it on – put overpatch or medical tape (such
as Blenderm™) over the adhesive patch.
To order overpatch, call Technical Support. Do not put tape over
the transmitter.
