Removing A Sensor And Transmitter; Setting Glucose Targets And Alarms - Abbott FreeStyle Navigator II User Manual

Calibration Time After Starting The Sensor Grace Period
1st 1 hour No grace period
2nd 2 hours 30 minutes
3rd 10 hours 2 hours
4th 24 hours 8 hours
5th 72 hours 8 hours
CAUTIONS:
• Always calibrate the system using a finger-stick blood sample . Do
NOT use alternative site blood glucose measurements to calibrate
the system .
• Do NOT use FreeStyle Control Solution for calibration . Do NOT
perform the control solution test when the system prompts you to
calibrate .
• In clinical trials, the continuous glucose readings were sometimes
temporarily lower than the blood glucose readings . This typically
happened during sleep and recovered rapidly when the wearer
moved or awakened . In order to reduce the effects of this
phenomenon, the system should not be calibrated when the
wearer is asleep .

Removing a Sensor and Transmitter

The Sensor must be changed:
• At least every 5 days . The system automatically ends the Sensor
session after 5 days . You can check your remaining Sensor life on the
Home screen or by selecting Menu ➞ Status . See the Expert Guide for
more information about changing a Sensor .
• If you notice any irritation or discomfort at the Sensor insertion site .
Taking action at the first sign of irritation or discomfort keeps small
issues from turning into larger ones .
• If a Receiver alarm instructs you to replace the Sensor .
WARNING: Movement of the Sensor Support Mount or excessive
perspiration at the Sensor insertion site due to activities like vigorous
exercise or bumping against objects may lead to poor adhesion
of the Sensor Support Mount to the skin and cause the Sensor to
dislodge . If the Sensor dislodges due to the Sensor Support Mount
adhesive failing to adhere to the skin, you may get unreliable results
or no results without a warning . Choose the proper Sensor insertion
site when inserting the Sensor and prepare the site by following the
instructions for site preparation .
CAUTION: If your continuous monitoring results seem incorrect,
check to see if the Sensor has dislodged . If you notice the Sensor
is dislodged from the skin, or if you see that the adhesive on your
Sensor Support Mount is coming loose, discard the current Sensor
and insert a new Sensor .
1. Pull up one edge of the adhesive and slowly peel it
off your skin in one continuous motion . Avoid folding
the adhesive back on itself as this will make it more
difficult to remove the Transmitter from the Sensor
Support Mount .
2. After the Transmitter/Sensor Unit is off your skin, pull
down on the adhesive at the bottom of the Sensor
Support Mount while you are holding onto the
Transmitter (the end furthest from the Sensor) . You
may hear a click as the Transmitter separates from the
Sensor Support Mount . Slide the Transmitter off the
used Sensor Support Mount .
Note: Do not attempt to pry the Transmitter from Sensor Support Mount.
If you have difficulty, call Customer Care for assistance.
Shortly after separating the Transmitter (within approximately 1 minute),
you may get a screen which reads "TX DETACHED . Transmitter has
detached from Sensor . CGM is not available . Replace the Sensor to
continue CGM . " If this screen is displayed, press OK .
If you don't separate the Transmitter from the Sensor Support Mount, the
Receiver displays a screen which reads "Did you remove the Sensor?
Select "Yes" to end CGM . " Press Yes .
3. Discard the Sensor Support Mount (with the
TX DETACHED
Sensor attached) . The Transmitter should be Transmitter has

Setting Glucose Targets and Alarms

See the Expert Guide for more information on alarms and settings .
Glucose Targets
Glucose Targets are the low and high glucose levels
GLUCOSE TARGETS
you would like your glucose to stay between .
SET TARGET RANGE
Low = 80 mg/dL
Note: These targets are different from your glucose
High = 140 mg/dL
alarms settings. Changing your Glucose Targets will
not change your alarms settings.
80 mg/dL = 4.4 mmol/L
1. Select Menu ➞ Settings ➞ Glucose Targets .
140 mg/dL = 7.8 mmol/L
2. Use the Scroll Wheel to select, adjust and set
your preferences for:
• Low Target – Set 60 – 248 mg/dL (3 .3 – 13 .8 mmol/L) for the low
glucose target
• High Target – Set 62 – 250 mg/dL (3 .4 – 13 . 9 mmol/L) for the high
glucose target
3. Press Accept to save the setting and exit .
