• Do not reuse Sensors. The Sensor has been designed so that it cannot be reused.
Not suitable for re-sterilisation.
• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause inaccurate Sensor
results. If you think you are dehydrated, consult your health care professional
immediately.
• The Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator are packaged as a set and have the same
Sensor code. Check that the Sensor codes match before using your Sensor Pack
and Sensor Applicator. Sensor Packs and Sensor Applicators with the same
Sensor code should be used together or your Sensor glucose readings may be
incorrect.
Additional Safety Information
Glucose levels in the interstitial fluid can be different from blood glucose levels
•
and may mean that Sensor glucose readings are different from blood glucose.
You may notice this difference during times when your blood glucose is
changing quickly, for example after eating, taking insulin, or exercising.
• Glucose Going Low and Glucose Going High messages may mean that your
actual blood glucose is already <3.9 mmol/L or >13.3 mmol/L. Consider this
before making an activity or treatment decision.
• If you are going to participate in activities that could result in harm to yourself or
others in the event of a severe hypoglycaemic episode (e.g. driving a motor
vehicle without following the Canadian Diabetes Association Recommendations
for Private and Commercial Drivers) do not rely on Glucose Messages (High
Glucose, Low Glucose, Glucose Going High and Glucose Going Low) alone. Talk
to your healthcare professional about checking your glucose before and while
driving.
• How to perform a Sensor accuracy check: Check your Sensor is working
properly by using your blood glucose meter. To check your Sensor, carry out the
following steps:
1.
Scan your Sensor. Make sure your glucose is changing slowly
2. Perform a blood glucose test. Your blood glucose result must be above
4.4 mmol/L in order to perform the check.
3. Compare the blood glucose result to the Sensor reading. The Sensor is
performing correctly when the blood glucose result is within 20% of the Sensor
reading. For example, when the Sensor reads 10.0 mmol/L, the blood glucose
