Sensors fracture on rare occasions. If a sensor breaks and no portion of it is visible above the
•
skin, do not attempt to remove it. Seek professional medical help if you have symptoms of
infection or inflammation—redness, swelling or pain—at the insertion site. If you experience a
broken sensor, please report this to our Technical Support department.
The SEVEN and SEVEN PLUS Systems are not approved for use in children or
•
adolescents, pregnant women or persons on dialysis.
The safety and effectiveness of the SEVEN and SEVEN PLUS Systems have not been
•
evaluated for sensor probe insertion sites other than the skin of the abdomen.
PRECAUTIONS
Always wash hands with soap and water before opening the Sensor package. After opening
•
the package, avoid touching the adhesive area.
Before inserting the Sensor, always clean the skin at the Sensor insertion location with a topical
•
antimicrobial solution such as isopropyl alcohol. Do not apply the Sensor until the cleaned area
is dry.
Establish a rotation schedule for choosing each new Sensor location. Avoid Sensor locations
•
that are constrained by clothing, accessories, or subjected to rigorous movement during
exercise.
Avoid injecting insulin or placing an insulin pump infusion set within 3 inches of a Sensor.
•
The Sensor is sterile in its unopened, undamaged package. Do not use any Sensor if its sterile
•
package has been previously damaged or opened.
For OpenChoice Calibration you must enter the exact fingerstick reading that your blood
•
glucose meter displays. Enter all fingerstick readings for calibration within 5 minutes. Entering
incorrect fingerstick readings that occurred more than 5 minutes ago will affect device
performance.
