To remove the Sensor Needle, keep pinching up on your skin
with one hand. With your other hand, place two fingers under
the Collar. Keep your thumb lightly on top of the white Plunger
and pull the Collar back towards your thumb until you hear
2 "clicks" or cannot pull back any more. This step leaves the
Sensor under your skin and removes the Sensor Needle from
your body.

To remove the Applicator Barrel, squeeze the ribbed Release
Tabs on the sides of the Sensor Pod (when you squeeze the
front part of the Release Tabs, the back part of the tabs will
widen, allowing you to pull off the Applicator Barrel). After this
step, only the Sensor Pod will be left on your body.
• Make sure the Transmitter Latch is down (against your body)
to remove the Applicator Barrel.
• Be sure to squeeze the center of the ribbed part of the
Release Tabs.
• While squeezing the Release Tabs, rock the Applicator Barrel
forward and out away from the body.
If you have any problems with insertion, save the Sensor and Applicator and contact Customer Service.

WARNING:
• DO NOT apply a Sensor until the cleaned area is dry so that it will stick better. Clean the skin
at the Sensor insertion site with a topical antimicrobial solution, such as isopropyl alcohol,
before inserting the Sensor. This can help prevent infection.
• For patients undergoing an MRI with a retained wire broken off from a Sensor, in-vitro MRI
testing did not detect any safety hazards. There was no significant migration or heating of the
wire and imaging artifacts were limited to areas around the wire.
• The pump and any type of metallic infusion set must be removed prior to an MRI, and left
outside the room during the procedure.
