MP6025427-2AF1 / A
Do not clean, resterilize, or try to extract the needle from the needle housing. An accidental needle stick may
occur.
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.
Where to insert the sensor
CAUTION: Avoid the 2 inch (5.0 cm) around the navel to help ensure a comfortable insertion site, and
to help with adhesion.
Choose an insertion site that has an adequate amount of subcutaneous fat. The Enlite sensor has been
approved for use on the abdomen. See step 2 for a diagram of these areas.
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 on the belt or waistline to avoid
chafing or site irritation.
