sensor base patch to adhere to the skin. • Remove the applicator. The sensor should be applied successfully. Note Applying a sensor may cause bruising or bleeding. If bleeding does not stop, remove the sensor and apply a new sensor to a different location. Align the transmitter to the sensor base and press the transmitter firmly onto the sensor base until it snaps onto the sensor base and attaches to it securely.
Page 21
Note If the orientation of the transmitter and sensor base mismatch, the transmitter cannot be installed properly. • The recyclable applicator is meant for single use only. Dispose the used sensor package and sensor appli- cator according to your local regulations.
Setting the Personal Diabetes Assistant (PDA) for the first time When using the PDA for the first time, set the date and time. • First time start up: Press and hold the power but- ton, the PDA will vibrate, indicating that the PDA is powered on.
Sensor start-up • After the sensor is successfully applied to your body and connected to the transmitter, the paired PDA will display “New sensor detected, please confirm.” Press the “Confirm” to continue.
Page 25
• Now the PDA will display “Sensor initializing”. Sensor initialization typically takes about 1 hour to complete.
Page 26
• When the sensor initialization is complete, the PDA will begin to display the current blood sugar value.
Page 27
• When the transmitter loses the connection with the sensor and reconnects, the PDA will ask you to con- firm. Please press “Cancel” if you already completed the initializing process. The PDA will skip initialization and starts displaying your current blood glucose val- ue immediately.
Sensor calibration After a new sensor is initialized, you can calibrate the CGMS as needed. Please calibrate the system only when blood glucose is relatively stable - the interstitial glucose has a physiological lag compared to capillary blood glucose so calibrate the CGMS when blood glu- cose is rapidly changing may cause the CGMS to be less accurate.
Page 29
• Click the “Calibration” menu on the PDA’s home screen. • The PDA will prompt “Please calibrate with BG strip”. • Insert a new blood glucose testing strip into the PDA’s testing strip port to activate the blood glucose testing function.
Page 30
• Please follow the instructions in the “Using the built- in blood glucose meter” section. • When your test result is displayed, click “Calibrate” to complete the sensor calibration process.
Page 31
• If you only intend to use the blood glucose meter and do not want to calibrate the CGMS, press “Record” after the test result is displayed. Your blood glucose reading will be recorded to history, but not used to calibrate the real-time glucose monitoring system.
Page 32
• If you want to use the measurement from a different blood glucose meter for calibration, press “Manual Calibration” when the PDA shows “Please insert blood glucose test strip”. Enter the value manually and press “Calibrate” to finish the calibration.
Page 33
• The blood glucose test interface will appear any time you insert a blood glucose test strip, even when the PDA is in stand-by mode and /or in another menu screen. • It is strongly recommended to calibrate the sensor as soon as possible after it is initialized to confirm the sensor’s performance.
Removing a sensor Remove the old sensor when the PDA indicates that the sensor has expired or if you feel any site irritation or discomfort. • Carefully pull the tape that holds the sensor to the skin from the edge and slowly uncover it until the entire sensor is removed.
PDA settings Target glucose range You can change the thresholds for high glucose alert and low sensor glucose alert. These settings change the normal range of sensor glucose concentrations dis- played on the home page and when high/low glucose alerts are triggered. •...
