4. Keep pinching up on your skin with
one hand. With your other hand, place
two fingers under the collar. Keep your
thumb lightly on top of the white plunger,
and pull the collar back towards your
thumb until you hear 2 clicks or cannot
pull back any more. This leaves the
sensor under your skin and removes the
needle from your body.
5. Squeeze the center of the ribbed
release tabs on the sides of the sensor
pod to remove the applicator barrel.
Only the sensor pod will be left on
your body.
• Make sure the transmitter latch is down (against your body) before
squeezing the tabs to remove the applicator barrel.
• Squeeze the center of the ribbed part of the release tabs.
• While squeezing the tabs, rock the applicator barrel forward and out
away from your body.
If you have any problems with insertion, save the sensor and applicator
and contact Dexcom Technical Support (see Chapter 15, User
Assistance).
