Freestyle LIBRE PRO - Using the Sensor; Applying the Sensor

Applying the Sensor
Step
Action
1
Apply Sensors only on the back of your patient’s
upper arm. 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
(2.5 cm) away from an insulin injection site.
To prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you
should select a dierent 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 the body.
Note: The area MUST be clean and dry, or the
Sensor may not stick to the site.
Using the Sensor
After you assemble and apply the Sensor to your patient’s body, start
the Sensor with the Reader and conrm it is working. The Sensor stores
glucose readings every 15 minutes for up to 14 days. The rst reading is
stored 1 hour after the Sensor is successfully started.
CAUTION:
The Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator are packaged as a set
(separately from the Reader) and have the same Sensor code.
Check that the Sensor codes match before using
the Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator. Sensor
Packs and Sensor Applicators with the same
Sensor code should be used together or
Sensor glucose readings may be incorrect.
