Getting Acquainted

Before You Get Started (con’t)

Cautions:

•Low or high glucose measurements can indicate a potentially serious medical condition.

•If you have hypoglycemia, or hypoglycemia unawareness, then test ONLY on your fingers.

•The high and low alarms are intended to assist you in managing your diabetes and should not be exclusively used to detect hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The alarms should always be used in conjunction with other indications of glycemic state such as your glucose level, trend, line graph etc.

•High and low glucose alarms are DIFFERENT from your glucose targets. Low and high glucose alarms alert you when you’ve crossed a certain low or high value. Glucose targets allow the reports and line graphs to show how your glucose levels have been performing compared to your set targets.

•The Low Glucose alarm cannot be set below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L). Therefore, it is not intended to notify you of severe hypoglycemia.

•The High Glucose alarm cannot be set above 300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L). Therefore, it is not intended to notify you of severe hyperglycemia.

•It is important to use the correct type of batteries in the receiver, otherwise the battery life may not be accurately monitored.

•Do NOT immerse the receiver in water or in any other liquid. Avoid getting water or any other liquid in the test strip port.

•Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

•The system should not be used in environments that are oxygen-rich or that contain a combustible gas.

•The radio receiver and transmitter of your FreeStyle Navigator system operate on the frequency of

433.6 MHz. Primary users of this frequency band include amateur “HAM” radio transmitters. Because of the coexistence of the FreeStyle Navigator radio connection and HAM transmitters, there may be instances where the connection between your transmitter and receiver may be lost when in proximity to HAM radio equipment. The FreeStyle Navigator system is designed to sense and notify you about a lost connection. If your FreeStyle Navigator system loses the radio connection, increase the separation distance between yourself and the transmitter by moving away from the HAM radio. The FreeStyle Navigator radio connection should re-establish itself. You should note that HAM radio products can be fixed, mobile or portable handheld (“walkie talkie” type) units.

Important: Because you must insert a new sensor after each battery replacement, you should replace the batteries just before you insert a new sensor. For example, if you drop your receiver and the batteries fall out, you will have to insert a new sensor.

Warnings:

Keep your system and its components away from young children because:

•There are small parts that may be dangerous if swallowed.

•The control solution caps are choking hazards.

•The test strip vial and sensor delivery unit packaging may contain a drying agent that could be harmful if inhaled or swallowed and may cause skin and eye irritation.

NEVER point a pre-cocked sensor inserter toward the eyes, face, or any other body part where sensor insertion is not desired.
