General warnings
Read this entire user guide before attempting to insert the sensor.
The one-press serter (MMT-7512) does not work the same as
other Medtronic insertion devices. Failure to follow directions or
using a different serter may result in improper insertion, pain, or
injury.
The sensor is designed to work with approved transmitters only.
It prevents connection with transmitters and recorders that are
not compatible with the sensor. Connecting your sensor to a
transmitter or recorder that is not approved for use with the sensor
may cause damage to the components. Refer to your system user
guide for a list of compatible products.
Do not make therapy decisions based on sensor glucose values
because sensor glucose and blood glucose (BG) values may
differ. If your sensor glucose reading is low or high, or if you feel
symptoms of low or high glucose, do the following prior to making
therapy decisions. Confirm your blood glucose with your meter
using a fingerstick blood sample.
Taking medications with acetaminophen or paracetamol while
wearing the sensor may falsely raise your sensor glucose
readings. The level of inaccuracy depends on the amount of
acetaminophen or paracetamol active in your body and may be
different for each person.
Do not expose your sensor to MRI equipment, diathermy devices,
or other devices that generate strong magnetic fields as the
performance of the sensor has not been evaluated under those
conditions and may be unsafe. If your sensor is inadvertently
exposed to a strong magnetic field, discontinue use and contact
your local representative for further assistance.
A retractable needle is attached to the sensor and minimal
blood splatter may occur. If you are a healthcare professional
or caregiver, wrap sterile gauze around the sensor to minimize
contact with blood. Keep as much distance as possible between
you and the patient when removing the needle.
Keep the needle housing within sight at all times to avoid an
accidental needlestick or puncture.
Always inspect the packaging for damage prior to use. Sensors
