WARNINGS (continued)
• DO NOT use your Transmitter if the outer case is damaged or cracked. This could create an
electrical safety hazard or malfunction, and result in serious injury or death. Always inspect
your Transmitter for damage prior to use.
• DO NOT enter Sensor glucose readings as BG values in pump bolus calculations. Always use
a BG value from a BG meter. Using a Sensor glucose reading in bolus calculations may lead
to inaccurate suggested bolus amounts, and may result in under delivery or over delivery of
insulin if you choose to bolus that amount.
• MAKE SURE to replace the pump battery when prompted with the Replace Battery Alarm to
continue recording and displaying CGM readings. The Replace Battery Alarm will stop all CGM
functions, and no further CGM readings will be displayed until the battery is replaced.

PRECAUTIONS
• AVOID bacterial contamination to the Sensor package by washing your hands thoroughly with
soap and water and drying them completely before opening the Sensor package. DO NOT use
any Sensor if its sterile package has been previously damaged or opened. The Sensor is sterile
in its unopened, undamaged package. A previously damaged or opened Sensor may lead to
inaccurate glucose readings and may cause infections or other problems around the insertion
site.
• 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.
• MAKE SURE to rotate (alternate) your Sensor insertion sites to allow your skin time to heal.
Avoid using the same spot repeatedly for Sensor insertion. Never use the same insertion site
for two Sensor sessions in a row.
• AVOID Sensor insertion areas that are likely to be bumped, pushed or compressed, or areas of
skin with scarring, tattoos, or irritation. These are not ideal sites to measure glucose.
• DO NOT inject insulin or place an insulin pump infusion set within 3 inches (7.62 centimeters)
of the Sensor. If the insulin delivery site is within 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) of the Sensor,
it may interfere with Sensor glucose readings taken from fluid below the skin, and can cause
inaccurate Sensor glucose readings.
• MAKE SURE to keep your Transmitter and pump within 12 feet (3.6 meters) of each other to
ensure wireless connection between devices. This is maximum range for wireless transmission
when there is no obstruction. Not keeping the devices within this range may not allow the
Transmitter to send Sensor glucose readings to the pump. Wireless communication does not
work well through water so the range is much less if you are in a pool, bathtub, or waterbed.
Nearby metallic objects may also affect the wireless connection.
