Tips to manage bleeding
Bleeding may occur at the insertion site and is not unusual.
Here are 3 tips to help you manage bleeding:
- If bleeding persists, apply steady pressure with a sterile gauze pad or clean cloth on top of the sensor for up to 3 minutes.
- If bleeding continues after 3 minutes and is significantly visible, or there is excessive pain or discomfort, then remove the sensor and continue to apply steady pressure until bleeding stops. Discard sensor and insert a new Simplera Sync™ sensor in a different spot.
- Check the site for redness, bleeding, irritation, pain, tenderness, or inflammation. If you notice any of these, contact a healthcare professional.

Key sensor precautions
- Only use if cap label is undamaged and the tamper band is intact.
- For data security, it only accepts recognised radio frequency (RF) signals.
Important considerations
- Magnetic field exposure: avoid MRI, diathermy, and radiation-emitting devices.
- Air travel: use alternative screening to X-rays and full-body scanners.
- Skincare product contact: avoid getting product onthe sensor; clean the sensor immediately if contacted.
Medication alerts
- Acetaminophen interaction: stop medication usage before using sensor glucose values to make treatment decisions; use BG meter readings to confirm glucose levels; program temp target for up to 8 hours, or the duration recommended by HCP.
- Hydroxyurea caution: don’t use CGM with hydroxyurea.
Sensor life of use
- The sensor is single-use only and has a maximum life of 170 hours (7 days + 2-hour sensor warm-up).
- All sensor warm-up periods will be 2 hours.
