Steps Do This
2.
Remove the sensor.
a. Wipe a small amount of isopropyl alcohol around the
edges of the sensor support mount.
Note: You can use a regular alcohol prep pad from your
local drugstore.
b. Grasp the top end of the adhesive (the end nearest the
sensor, see Fig.1) and slowly peel it off your skin in one
continuous motion.
c. Pull down on the adhesive at the bottom of the support
mount (the end farthest from the sensor, see Fig.2). You
will hear a click as the transmitter separates from the
support mount.
d. Discard the sensor support mount (with the sensor
attached).
Important:
• Do NOT discard the transmitter.
• NEVER reuse the sensor support mount and sensor.
e. Gently wash the transmitter with soap and water.
f. Dry the transmitter thoroughly with a clean, soft, lint-
free cloth. Be sure that you blot the sensor connector on
the end of the transmitter.
g. If necessary, use an alcohol wipe prep pad, baby oil, or
a wet, soapy washcloth to remove any adhesive left on
your arm.
h. Dry your arm with a clean dry towel before continuing.
Important:
Do NOT use adhesive remover wipes containing ether or
ether-containing components to remove adhesive residue
from the transmitter. Adhesive remover solutions such
as Uni-Solve® and others that contain ether components
can damage the transmitter case. We recommend using
regular alcohol pads for cleaning adhesive residues.
i. Proceed to next step to end sensor session.
