Note: During testing, Medtronic MiniMed used Detachol to remove the adhesive residue
from the transmitter. Detachol is recommended for use but may not be available in
all countries.
To remove adhesive residue:
1
Make sure the tester is attached to the transmitter.
2
Holding the tester, saturate a cotton swab in the Detachol solution and gently rub the
adhesive residue on the transmitter until it is fully removed.
3
Continue with the appropriate single-patient or multiple-patient cleaning procedure.
See Cleaning the transmitter, on page 9 for details.
