⚠️ Don’t install the GlucoRx app - it stops the Limbo app working! 

Applying a sensor

Recommended areas for sensor application include the abdomen, the outside and the back of the upper arm.

For best performance, avoid excessive motion which may weaken the sensor and its adhesive tape. 

Rotate your sensor sites regularly to avoid discomfort or skin irritation. 

The sensor will expire if you do not pair the sensor-transmitter set with your App within 30 minutes after application.

Before application, use alcohol pads to disinfect your selected skin area and wait for a minute to let the skin dry. Open the sensor package.

Take out the sensor applicator by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction. 

Place the applicator on the top of your desired sensor site. Press it firmly against your skin and press the button to launch the sensor. After inserting the sensor, wait a few seconds to allow the sensor base patch to adhere to the skin.

Remove the applicator. The sensor should be applied successfully.

NOTE
Applying a sensor may cause bruising or bleeding. If bleeding does not stop, remove the sensor and apply a new sensor to a different location.

Align the transmitter to the sensor base and press the transmitter firmly onto it until it snaps onto the sensor base and attaches to it securely.

Wait at least 20 minutes before swimming or athletic activities after application.
