NOTE: Do not use sticky skin preparation solutions before inserting the sensor. A sticky
intravenous (I.V.) preparation solution may be used after the sensor is inserted, and before
applying an occlusive adhesive dressing, to help the adhesive stick to the patient's skin.
Always refer to the instructions that came with the glucose sensor and Serter.
Inserting the sensor
1 Wash your hands thoroughly.
2 Put on gloves.
3 Remove the sensor from the package by holding the base or tape. Do not hold the sensor by the
introducer needle handle.
4 Place the sensor in the Sen-serter so that it fits securely inside the Sen-serter hole.
5 Place your fingers on the white tape and push the carrier down until it clicks into place.
6
Holding the white tape as shown, remove the clear film using a straight-up motion.
7 Remove the needle guard from the introducer needle.
8
Rest the Sen-serter legs on the patient's skin so the Sen-serter is at an angle that is 45 to 60
degrees to the insertion site. Bleeding can occur if you insert the sensor at an angle less than
45 degrees.
9 Use one hand to spread the skin flat at the insertion site. While holding the Sen-serter with the
other hand, press the white button to insert the sensor.
