Precautions
Do not reuse sensors. Reuse of the sensor may cause damage to
the sensor surface and lead to inaccurate glucose values, site
irritation or infection.
Always wash your hands with soap and water before opening the
sensor package and handling the sensor.
Healthcare professionals and caregivers should use universal
precautions when handling the sensor. Avoid touching any sensor
surfaces that will come in contact with the body—that is, the
sensor, needle, adhesive surfaces and tape.
Do not insert the sensor through tape and only use alcohol to clean
the insertion site. Do not use any other type of skin preps prior to
insertion.
Establish a rotation schedule for choosing each new sensor site.
Dispose of used sensors and introducer needles in a sharps
container after a single use. Do not clean or resterilize, and do not
try to extract the needle from the needle housing.
Where to insert the sensor
Refer to the Enlite Serter User Guide for instructions on inserting
the sensor.
WARNING: Failure to follow directions may result in pain or injury.
CAUTION: Make sure the sensor site is at least 7.5 cm (3 inches)
away from the insulin pump insertion site or manual injection
site. When replacing the sensor, select a new site that is at
least 5 cm (2 inches) from the previous site.
Choose an insertion site that has an adequate amount of subcutaneous
fat. Shown here are the best body areas (shaded) for sensor insertion.
