Maintenance and Disposal

Your sensor automatically stops working after 14 days of data is collected and must be replaced. You should
also replace your sensor if you notice any irritation or discomfort at the application site or if the reader reports
a problem with the sensor currently in use.
Discard the used sensor in accordance with all applicable local regulations related to the disposal of electronic equipment, batteries, and materials potentially exposed to body fl uids.

Pull up the edge of the adhesive that keeps the sensor attached to the skin. Slowly peel
away from the skin in one motion.
If you removed your last sensor before it ended, you will be prompted to confi rm that you
would like to start a new sensor when you fi rst scan it.
When you are ready to apply a new sensor, follow the instructions previously outlined.
NOTE: Any remaining adhesive residue on the skin can be removed with warm soapy water
or isopropyl alcohol.
