19.2 Safety Statements

Following are the Safety Statements for the Troubleshooting chapter.
WARNING
Do: Calibrate at least once every 12 hours.
Why: Calibrating less often than every 12 hours might cause inaccurate sensor
glucose readings.
Consequences: Missing a severe low or high blood glucose event or making a treatment
decision that results in injury.
PRECAUTION
Do: Enter the exact BG value displayed on your BG meter within five minutes of a carefully
performed fingerstick measurement.
Why: Entering the wrong BG values, or waiting more than five minutes before entry, might
affect sensor accuracy.
Consequences: Missing a severe low or high blood glucose event or making a treatment
decision that results in injury.
PRECAUTION
Don't: Never prevent communication between transmitter and display devices.
Do: Keep smart device and receiver within 20 feet of transmitter and away
from obstructions.
Why: If your transmitter and display device(s) are more than 20 feet apart or are
separated by an obstruction, they might not communicate.
Types of obstruction differ and not all types have been tested. Obstructions can include
water, walls, metal, etc.
Water (for example, while swimming, surfing, bathing, etc.) can severely limit
communication range.
Consequences: Missing a severe low or high blood glucose event or making a treatment
decision that results in injury.
