11.3 TRANSMITTER REMOVAL

WARNING
The transmitter should be cleaned and disinfected after
use on each patient. This system may only be used for
testing multiple patients when Standard Precautions and
the manufacturer's cleaning and disinfection procedures
are followed.
PRECAUTION
Do not discard your transmitter. It is reusable. The
same transmitter is used for each session until you
have reached the end of the transmitter battery life.
When healthcare professionals use one transmitter for
multiple patients, the transmitter must be returned to the
healthcare professional.
Do not remove the transmitter while the sensor pod is still
attached to the body.
After the sensor pod is off the body, you must remove the transmitter to
reuse it. Use either of these two transmitter removal methods:
Method 1
The safety lock that you removed from the applicator (see Chapter 6,
Section 6.4, Placing the Sensor), can be used as a tool to remove the
transmitter.
1. Place the sensor pod/transmitter on a flat surface.
2. Hold the rounded edge of the safety lock.
3. Make sure the jagged edge of the safety lock is facing down, with
the arrow pointing up, as shown:
