HOW SHOULD YOU DEAL WITH WATER WHILE USING THE SENSOR?

WHERE TO ADMINISTER YOUR INSULIN?

TRAVELING BY AIR

You may use your System while on an aircraft, following any requests from the flight crew.

  • Some airport full-body scanners include x-ray or millimeter radio-wave, which you cannot expose your Sensor to. The effect of these scanners has not been evaluated and the exposure may damage the Sensor or cause inaccurate results. To avoid removing your Sensor, you may request another type of screening. If you do choose to go through a full-body scanner, you must remove your Sensor.
  • The Sensor can be exposed to common electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), including airport metal detectors. You can keep your Reader on while going through these.

Note: If you are changing time zones, you can change the time and date settings on the Reader by touching the Settings symbol , from the Home Screen, then Time & Date. Changing the time and date affects the graphs and statistics.

MEDICAL PROCEDURES

Exposing your sensor to MRI, CT Scan, Diathermy, or X-ray may damage the sensor and cause incorrect readings.

ENTER NOTES

On events such as food consumption, insulin administered and exercise within 15 minutes after your scan. This feature can be accessed via the pencil icon at the top right of the FreeStyle reader screen or when adding notes at the bottom of the screen on a mobile phone.

 

WHERE TO APPLY THE SENSOR?
