Warnings
• Do not use the transmitter adjacent to other electrical equipment that may cause interference
with the normal system operation. Other electrical equipment that may compromise normal
system operation has been contraindicated. For more information on electrical equipment that
may compromise normal system operation, see Exposure to magnetic fields and radiation,
page 14.
• Always refer to the sensor user guide for all precautions, warnings, and instructions relating to the
sensor. Not referring to the sensor user guide can result in serious injury or damage to the sensor.
• Do not allow children to put small parts in their mouth. This product poses a choking hazard for
young children.
• 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 your local representative if you experience any adverse reactions associated with the
transmitter or sensor. Adverse reactions can cause serious injury.
• Do not discard the transmitter in a medical waste container or expose it to extreme heat. The
transmitter contains a battery that may ignite and result in serious injury.
Exposure to magnetic fields and radiation
• Do not expose your transmitter to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment, diathermy
devices, or other devices that generate strong magnetic fields (for example, x-ray, CT scan, or other
types of radiation). Exposure to a strong magnetic field has not been evaluated and can cause the
device to malfunction, result in serious injury, or be unsafe. If your transmitter is exposed to a strong
magnetic field, discontinue use and contact your local representative for further assistance.
• Always remove your sensor and transmitter before entering a room that has x-ray, MRI, diathermy,
or CT scan equipment. Exposure to a strong magnetic field has not been evaluated and can cause
the device to malfunction, result in serious injury, or be unsafe. If your sensor or transmitter is
exposed to a strong magnetic field, discontinue use and contact your local representative for
further assistance.
