Applying Your Sensor
Step
Action
1
Apply Sensors only on the back of your upper
arm. If placed in other areas, the Sensor may
not function properly and could give inaccurate
readings. The application of the Sensor is not
approved for other sites. 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 1 inch
(2.5 cm) 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
Clean application site with an alcohol wipe and
allow site to dry before proceeding. This helps
the Sensor stay attached to your body.
Note: The area MUST be clean and dry, or the
Sensor may not stick to the site.
