20 Glossary (con’t)

Reports	Information about your glucose levels shown in a way to help you and your healthcare team
	analyze changes in your glucose levels and your treatment plan (such as changes in insulin doses,
	carbohydrate intake, etc.) Several types of reports are available.
Sensor	The part of the system that you insert under your skin. Each inserted sensor is intended to remain
	in place and provide a continuous glucose reading for up to 5 days.
Sensor Code	A number that you will find on the sensor delivery unit packaging. This code number must
	be entered into the receiver after you insert a new sensor and before you complete the system
	calibration.

Sensor Delivery Unit

The sensor delivery unit is designed and packaged to enable safe insertion of the sensor into your skin. The sensor delivery unit has 2 parts assembled and packaged together: the sensor inserter with pre-installed sensor (which puts the tip of the sensor under your skin) and the sensor support mount (which stays on your skin to hold the sensor in place and which attaches the sensor to the transmitter).

Sensor Inserter	The sensor inserter is a cylindrical-shaped, plastic-cased device. A pre-cocked, coiled spring is
	connected to a stainless steel needle, used to guide the sensor for insertion. With a single push of
	the insertion button, the needle guides the sensor into the skin and is quickly withdrawn from
	the skin. The Locking Pin is designed to avoid accidental discharge of the sensor inserter. Do not
	remove the locking pin until the sensor support mount is adhered to the skin.
Sensor Insertion	With a single push of the insertion button, the needle guides the sensor into the skin and is
Button	quickly withdrawn from the skin.
Sensor Insertion	The place on your body where you insert a sensor, on either the abdomen or the back of the
Site	upper arm. Always change the sensor insertion site each time a new sensor is used. The sensor
	should be inserted at least 1 inch from the previous site.
Sensor Locking	A pin on the sensor delivery unit that was designed to prevent accidental release of the sensor.
Pin	This pin must be removed before the sensor can be inserted.
Sensor Release	Parts of the sensor delivery unit that release the sensor inserter from the sensor support mount.
Tabs
Sensor Support	The sensor support mount is designed to stay on your skin to hold the sensor in place and attach
Mount	the sensor to the transmitter. The blue release tabs release the sensor inserter from the sensor
	support mount after the sensor is inserted into the skin.
Sharps Container	A safe place for disposal of sensor inserters and lancets.
Single-day	A type of statistical report that shows a summary of glucose results in relation to your glucose
Statistics	targets over a one-day period.
Site Rotation	The practice of using a different location on the body each time you insert a new sensor. The new
	Sensor should be inserted at least 1 inch from the previous site.
Skin Barriers	Products that can help prevent irritation or sensitivity problems at the sensor insertion site.
