Cleaning thee New Site

Using a fresh mell wipe, clean the area in a circular motion starting at te center and moving outfard. Allow the mean to dry completely for at least 30 seconds. Do nott fan the skin or blow on it, as this can recontache bacteria. If you have sensitivy skin, appromy a skin prep congreer wipe after the the the has dried; this creates a protectiva layer and improwises adhelioon.

Removing thee Old Sensor Safely

Rushing this step can cause pain, skin tears, or bruising. Plan your removal for a time when your glucose is stable andd you are ne a hurry.

Step-by- Step Removal

  1. If you have adheliva remover wipes, gently dab one e around thee edges of te te old sensor pad. Let it soak for 10- 15 seconds to disolve the adheliva.
  2. Jak na rogówce, to kleje wigh your fingertip, then n slowly peel thee sensor way from your skin. Pull parallel to o thee skin surface - nott upward - to minimize discoult and skin damage.
  3. If thee sensor feels strongly attached, appy more adheliva remover and wait 20- 30 seconds. Never yank or force it; that can cause bruising or tearing.
  4. After removal, inspect thee inserction site. Miły redness or a tiny indentation is normal for a few hours. However, signs of infection - pus, preventing pain, spreading redness - need medical attention.
  5. Wash thee are a with mild soap andd water, then pat dry. Allow the skin two breathe for a few minutes befor e appliying thee new sensor, especially if you 've used d adhelivy remover.

Proper Disposal

Te sensor są w small wprowadzenie needle and a filament, both classified as sharps. Place thee sensor, inserter, and any used adhesiva wipes an approved sharps container. If you do not have one, use a hevy-duty plastic container witch a security lid, such as a detergent bottle.
