What are the key parts of my system?

Your FreeStyle Navigator system includes the following major parts:

intended to remain in place and provide a continuous glucose reading for up to 5 days. e sensor is
contained in the Sensor Delivery Unit.
A wireless FreeStyle Navigator Transmitter (Tx), a small electronic device that connects to the sensor b.
and sends glucose values to the receiver once every minute.
A wireless FreeStyle Navigator Receiver (Rx) that captures and displays glucose measurements. With the c.
press of a button, the receiver displays the glucose measurement taken from the sensor.
