1.3 SENSOR OVERVIEW

The sensor is the piece that comes in a sterile, sealed sensor pouch.
The sensor is made up of an applicator, a sensor pod, and a sensor
wire. You remove the applicator after insertion. The sensor pod stays on
the belly for the entire sensor session, up to 7 days. The pod is made of
plastic and an adhesive patch. The sensor wire is thin and flexible, and
inserts just under the skin of the belly. It is attached to the sensor pod,
and is made of silver and platinum metal with polymer membranes. You
discard the sensor at the end of the session.
