TRANSMITTER REMOVAL

When you are ready to remove the Sensor, make sure to pull out the Sensor Pod with the Trans-
mitter still inside. Once the Sensor Pod is off your body, you will need to remove the Transmitter. To
do this you can use either of the two methods below:
Method 1
The Safety Lock/Transmitter Key once removed from the Applicator (Chapter 3, Section 3.5, "Sen-
sor Insertion") can be used as a tool to remove the Transmitter.
1. Place the Sensor Pod on a table.
2. Hold the rounded edge of the Transmitter Key.
3. Make sure the jagged edge of the Transmitter Key is facing down (the direction away from the
removal arrow) as shown below:
4. Insert the jagged edges so that they "hug" the Transmitter wings in the Sensor Pod. Press the
Transmitter Key down until you cannot press down anymore, and the Transmitter wings will
"pop" out of the Sensor Pod.
5. Remove the Transmitter and store it in a cool, dry place until your next glucose monitoring ses-
sion.
Method 2
If you did not save the Transmitter Key, you can simply use your pointer finger on each hand and
spread out the tabs at the back of the Sensor Pod (end closest to the wings). The Transmitter
wings will "pop" out of the Sensor Pod.
