WARNING: Always watch for bleeding at the insertion site. If
bleeding occurs under, around, or on top of the sensor, apply
steady pressure using sterile gauze or a clean cloth placed
on top of the sensor for up to three minutes. The use of
unsterile gauze may cause an infection. If bleeding does not
stop, remove the sensor and apply steady pressure until the
bleeding stops.
Note: After insertion, use of adhesive products, such as
Skin Tac™, in addition to the oval tape is optional. If optional
adhesive products are used, apply them to the skin under the
adhesive pad prior to removing the liner. Adhesive products
may also be applied to the adhesive pad or the skin around the
sensor base. Allow the product to dry before continuing.

Note: Do not remove the adhesive
liner from the rectangular adhesive
tab. This tab will be used to secure
the transmitter in a later step.
