Remove your sensor
After your sensor session ends, peel off the patch like a bandage. To make it easier
and to avoid irritating your skin, try these tips:
l
Loosen edge and soak patch in body oil, like baby oil or an adhesive remover for
skin (see product instructions before using)
l
Use adhesive removal wipes for skin, rubbing exposed skin as you peel back the
patch
l
Try different pulling techniques:
l
Pull off the patch slowly, folding it over itself, in the same direction of hair
growth
l
Stretch loosened edge, and push your fingers under the patch to pull it off skin

Before inserting a new sensor, remove the old one. You can use only one sensor at a
time with G7.
Throw out the used sensor following local guidelines.
