Using The Sensor; Applying The Sensor - Freestyle LIBRE PRO Operator's Manual

Using the Sensor

After you assemble and apply the Sensor to your patient's body, start
the Sensor with the Reader and confirm it is working . The Sensor stores
glucose readings every 15 minutes for up to 14 days . The first 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 .

Action
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 flat
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 different site other than the
one most recently used .
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 .
