6. Care, Maintenance and Disposal of GS1 System
Storage
Storing the GS1 CGM system correctly helps prevent system failures.
Sensor
Keep the Sensor in its sterile packaging until ready to be used.
Store at temperatures ranging between 4°C (39.2℉) and 25°C (77℉).
Store between 10% and 90% relative humidity.
Storage outside the recommended range may result in inaccurate GS1 readings.
May store Sensor in refrigerator if within the recommended temperature range.
Store Sensors in a cool, dry place. Do not store in a parked car on a hot day or in
the freezer.
Maintenance
The System has no serviceable parts. Software maintenance is provided through
software upgrade.
System Disposal
Different regions have different requirements for disposal of electronics (Sensor) and
parts that have been in contact with bodily fluids or blood (Applicator and Sensor).
Sensor must not be disposed of via municipal waste collection. Separate collection of
electrical and electronic equipment waste is mandated in the European Union by
Directive 2012/19/EU.
Before disposing of the Sensor Applicator, perform the following steps:
Pull the internal structure of the Sensor Applicator backward using the bulge of the
cap until it clicks into place. Cover the Sensor Applicator with the cap and put back the
safety clip.
Consult your local waste management authority for instructions on how to dispose
of Sensor Applicators at a designated sharps collection site.
