SENSOR TAPING
You might want to insert a new sensor in the morning.
First calibration: within 2 hours after the sensor insertion.
Second calibration: within 6 hours after your rst calibration
After that you must calibrate within the next 12 hours.
Note: If your calibration is not accepted, wait a minimum 15 minutes. If you receive a new calibration
not accepted alert, a change sensor alert occurs.
The sensor must be calibrated
at a minimum of every 12 hours
throughout the life of the sensor.
We recommend that you calibrate
2-3 times a day.
Remove the liners
and apply the tape.
The wide part of the
tape covers half of
the sensor base.
Smooth the tape
over the skin.
It is very helpful to remember the
order of these four steps when
changing the sensor:
1. Insert the sensor
2. Apply the rst Oval tape
3. Connect the transmitter
4. Apply a second Oval tape
Properly applying the Oval tape is key
to ensuring your success with the
sensor. The Oval tape helps to secure
it from movements that can cause it
to be pulled out.
To apply the 2nd
tape, remove the
liners and rotate
the 2nd tape over
the transmitter.
Smooth the tape.

KEY ELEMENTS:
Each time you perform and confirm a BG it will be considered a calibration.
You might sometimes also be prompted to do an extra calibration that will help ensure sensor accuracy.
