• Do not change or modify the device unless expressly approved by Medtronic
Diabetes. Modifying the device can cause serious injury, interfere with your ability to
operate the device, and void your warranty.
• Do not use the tester if it comes in contact with blood. Touching blood can cause
infection. Dispose of the tester according to the local regulations for medical waste
disposal, or contact your healthcare professional for disposal information.
• Bleeding may occur after inserting the sensor. Always make sure that the site is not
bleeding before connecting the transmitter to the sensor. Blood can get into the
transmitter connector and damage the device. Discard the device if damaged. If
bleeding occurs, apply steady pressure with a sterile gauze or clean cloth at the
insertion site until bleeding stops. After bleeding stops, connect the transmitter to the
sensor.
• Contact the 24 Hour HelpLine or your local representative if you experience any
adverse reactions associated with the transmitter or sensor. Adverse reactions can
cause serious injury.
Precautions
• Only use the Enlite (MMT-7008) glucose sensor with the transmitter. Do not use any
other sensor. Other sensors are not intended for use with the transmitter.
• Only use the tester (MMT-7736) with the transmitter. Do not use any other test plug.
Other test plugs are not intended for use with the transmitter.
• Always use the tester when cleaning the transmitter. Do not use any other test plug
with the transmitter. Use of another test plug can allow water to get into the
transmitter. Water can damage the transmitter.
• Do not twist the tester or sensor while attached to the transmitter. Twisting the tester
or sensor will damage the transmitter.
• Do not allow the tester to come in contact with any liquid when not connected to the
transmitter. A wet tester can damage the transmitter.
• Do not allow the transmitter to come in contact with any liquid when not connected to
a sensor or to the tester. Moisture will damage the transmitter and a wet transmitter
can damage the sensor.
• Do not clean the o-rings on the tester with any substances. Cleaning the o-rings can
damage the tester.
