Refer to the enlite user guide for additional sensor related warnings.
General precautions
Wash your hands with soap and water before inserting the sensor to help prevent site infection.
If you are a healthcare professional or caregiver, wear gloves when inserting the sensor into someone other
than yourself to avoid contact with patient blood.
Do not insert the sensor through tape. Inserting the sensor through tape may cause improper sensor insertion
and function.
Only use alcohol to prepare the insertion site, to ensure that residue is not left on the skin.
Rotate the sensor insertion sites so that they do not become overused.
Discard used sensors and needle housings in a sharps container after each use to avoid accidental
needlestick or puncture.
Do not clean, resterilize, or try to extract the needle from the needle housing. An accidental needlestick or
puncture may occur.
Do not reuse sensors. Reuse of a sensor may cause damage to the sensor surface and lead to inaccurate
glucose values, site irritation, or infection.
Always make sure the sensor is firmly attached so that it does not come out of your body. Factors that may
increase the likelihood of the sensor falling off include increased physical activity (particularly for younger
patients) and improper taping technique.
Where to insert the sensor
CAUTION: Make sure the sensor site is at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the insulin pump infusion
site or manual injection site. When replacing the sensor, select a new site that is at least 2.5 cm
(1 inch) away from the previous site to allow the area to heal. Any scarring or hardening of the tissue
can cause inaccurate insulin delivery or sensor performance.
CAUTION: Avoid the 5.0 cm (2 inch) area around the navel to help ensure a comfortable insertion site
and to help with sensor adhesion.
Choose an insertion site that has an adequate amount of subcutaneous fat. The Enlite sensor has been
approved for use on the abdomen, the lower back, or the upper buttock areas. For a diagram of the area,
see Inserting the sensor, step 2.
Do not insert the sensor in muscle or areas constrained by clothing or accessories, areas with tough skin or
scar tissue, sites subjected to rigorous movement during exercise, or in sites under a belt or on the waistline
for best sensor performance and to avoid accidental sensor removal.
Removing the sensor
Always refer to the enlite user guide for instructions on how to remove the sensor.
Storage and handling
Store the serter in the released position, at room temperature, to maintain optimum product performance and
life.
