3. Setup and Application

Proper application of the sensor is crucial for accurate readings. Always ensure your hands are clean and the application site is prepared according to medical guidelines.

Application Steps:

1. Prepare the Site: Choose a clean, dry area of skin, typically on the back of the upper arm. Clean the area with an alcohol wipe and allow it to air dry completely.
2. Prepare the Auto-Applicator: Remove the sensor and applicator from its sterile packaging. Ensure the sensor is securely seated within the auto-applicator.
3. Apply the Sensor: Place the auto-applicator firmly against the prepared skin site. Press the activation button to insert the sensor. The process is designed to be quick and minimize discomfort.
4. Secure the Sensor: Once applied, ensure the sensor is firmly attached to the skin. The transmitter (purchased separately and reusable for 2 years) will then be attached to the sensor.

4. Operating the Sensor for Continuous Monitoring

Once the sensor is applied and the transmitter is attached, the system begins continuous glucose monitoring.

Monitoring Process:

• Real-time Data: The sensor continuously measures glucose levels and transmits data in real-time.
• Data Transmission: Glucose values are sent to a compatible mobile application (Glooko for iOS/Android) or PC software (YuwellView).
• Data Frequency: The system generates a new glucose value approximately every 3 minutes, providing a comprehensive overview of glucose trends throughout the day and night.
• Data Review and Sharing: Users can view their glucose data, trends, and patterns within the app or software. This data can be easily shared with healthcare providers to assist in diabetes management.
• Customizable Alerts: The system supports customizable alerts and alarms to notify users of high or low glucose levels.
