needle stick injury.
Do not clean, resterilize, or try to extract the needle from the needle housing. An accidental needle stick may
occur.
Do not reuse sensors. Reuse of the sensor may cause damage to the sensor surface and lead to inaccurate
glucose values, site irritation, or infection.
Always make sure the sensor is firmly attached so that it does not come out of your body. Factors that may
increase the likelihood of the sensor falling off include increased physical activity (particularly for younger
patients) and improper taping technique.
Where to insert the sensor
CAUTION: Make sure the sensor site is at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the insulin pump infusion
site or manual injection site. And when replacing the sensor, select a new site that is at least 2.5 cm
(1 inch) from the previous site.
CAUTION: Avoid the 5.0 cm (2 inch) around the navel to help ensure a comfortable insertion site, and
to help with adhesion.
Choose an insertion site that has an adequate amount of subcutaneous fat. The Enlite sensor has been
approved for use on the abdomen and buttock areas. See step 2 for a diagram of these areas.
Do not insert the sensor in muscle or areas constrained by clothing or accessories; areas with tough skin or
scar tissue; sites subjected to rigorous movement during exercise; or in sites on the belt or waistline to avoid
chafing or site irritation.
