Inserting a sensor
and starting a session
4.1

Prepare for sensor insertion

To start a CGM session, you must insert a sensor. The in-
sertion process should be done in a clean, dry place. Wash
and dry your hands before beginning.
To prepare for sensor insertion, gather the following parts:
• Sensor insertion tool
• Sealed sensor assembly pouch
Fully charged and paired transmitter (see SECTION 8.4
•
for details about charging the transmitter and SECTION
3.3 for details about pairing the transmitter)
• SKIN-PREP™ wipes (or equivalent product)
12
• Overpatch (optional)
GlucoMen Day app (see SECTION 3.1 for instructions to
•
download the app)
CAUTION
• Check the expiration date on the sensor assembly pou-
ch. If the sensor has expired, do not use it. Using an expi-
red sensor may result in inaccurate glucose readings.
• Follow the sensor insertion instructions carefully. Fai-
lure to do so may result in accidental deployment of the
sensor.
• There are several moving parts on the bottom of the
sensor insertion tool. These may pinch your fingers if you
do not follow the instruction for preparing and using the
sensor insertion tool.
4.2

Choose a sensor insertion site

Before you insert the sensor, take a moment to consider
where the best insertion site may be.
Choose a sensor insertion site on your abdomen or
lower side that:
• Is easy to reach also out of the way of tight clothing and
belts.
• Is at least 4 cm (1.5 inches) from an insulin injection site
or insulin pump, measured from the edge of the adhesive
patch.
• Is smooth. If needed, shave the area to allow the adhe-
sive patch to stick to the skin.
