Remove Your Sensor - Dexcom stelo Manual

Remove your sensor

Before inserting a new sensor, remove the old one. You can use only one sensor at a
time with the Stelo Glucose Biosensor System. After your sensor session ends, peel
off the patch like a bandage. To make it easier and to avoid irritating your skin, try
these tips:
Loosen edge and soak patch in body oil, like baby oil or an adhesive remover for
l
skin (see product instructions before using)
Use adhesive removal wipes for skin, rubbing exposed skin as you peel back the
l
patch
Try different pulling techniques:
l
Pull off the patch slowly, folding it over itself, in the same direction of hair
l
growth
Stretch loosened edge, and push your fingers under the patch to pull it off skin
l

Throw out the used sensor following local guidelines for blood-contacting
components.
