12.
What if I forget to remove POCTech CT-10 after 10
days?
The POCTech CT-10 system is programmed to collect data for up to 10 full days. To ensure
sensors are not used after 10 days of use, the Receiver will stop data collection automatically
when a 10-day wear period is complete.
13.
Can I wear it longer than 10 days?
To ensure optimum performance the POCTech CT-10 sensors can be worn for up to 10 days. The
Receiver will stop data collection automatically when a 10-day wear period is complete.
14.
How do I prepare my skin before applying the
POCTech CT-10 Sensor?
1. First, choose the upper arm or abdomen for sensor insertion. Avoid skin area with scars,
irritation, rash or other skin problems in the area that you wish to apply the sensor.
2. Use alcohol wipes (or pads) to clean and disinfect the skin.
3. Before you apply the sensor, make sure your skin is clean, dry and hairless.
4. Your skin should be free of any creams, oils, powder, makeup, moisturizer or lotion. These
products may cause the Sensor adhesive to become loose.
5. After transmitter initialization and attachment to the sensor, a medical adhesive dressing tape
((3x4inch) or (7,6x10,2cm), water proof) can be applied over the transmitter/sensor assembly
if desired.

15.
Can lotions (moisturizing, tanning, etc.) affect the
POCTech CT-10 Sensor?
To prevent interference with the adhesive properties, the Sensor should not be applied to a skin
area where cream, lotion or powder has recently been applied.
16.
Is it ok to shave the application site before I insert
the Sensor?
It would be best not to shave the insertion site immediately before inserting the Sensor, as the
skin may become sensitive or slightly irritated from shaving. If it is necessary, check the site prior
to application and if irritation or broken skin is present, select another site for application.
17.
Can I open the Sensor packages ahead of time?
Once the individual Sensor package is opened, the Sensor should be inserted immediately.
Always check the expiration date on the Sensor packaging before opening the Sensor. Do not use
expired Sensors.
18.
Can POCTech CT-10 be worn when bathing or
swimming?
Showering: The sensor/transmitter assembly, when properly installed and maintained, is water
resistant to an Ingress Protection Rating of IP27. This means you can submerge in water 1 meter
(3 feet) deep for up to 30 minutes. You can take showers without extra protection. However, due
to differences in wearing times and differences in people’s skin conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you take necessary precautions and measures when engaging in activities
involving water. The additional measures that can be taken include a medical adhesive dressing
tape ((3x4inch) or (7,6x10,2cm), water proof) can be applied over the transmitter/sensor assembly
if desired.
