cHAPtER 9 - REmOVING tHE tRANSmIttER AND SENSOR

At the end of every CGM session, you will need to remove your Transmitter and Sensor.
Removing the Sensor
When you are ready to remove the Sensor, make sure to pull out the Sensor Pod while the Transmitter
is still attached. Gently peel up the Sensor Pod adhesive patch from your skin. This will pull out your
Sensor.

WARNING:
• DO NOT use a broken Sensor or attempt to remove the broken Sensor if no portion of it is
visible above the skin. Sensors can fracture on rare occasions. You may not be able to obtain
glucose readings from a broken Sensor or the readings may be inaccurate. Consult your HCP
about removing it, especially if you have symptoms of infection or inflammation (redness,
swelling or pain) at the insertion site. Report the broken Sensor to Customer Service.
• 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 the area 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.
Removing the Transmitter
Once the Sensor Pod is off your body, you will need to remove the Transmitter (DO NOT dispose of the
Transmitter). To remove the Transmitter, you can use either of the two methods that follow:
Method 1
The Safety Lock, once removed from the Applicator, 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 Safety Lock.
3.
Make sure the jagged edge of the Safety Lock is facing down (the direction away from the removal
arrow) as shown below:
