LinX CGM Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor
Tips for use after installation:
● Avoid touching the sensor unnecessarily, especially in the first hours.
● Avoid intense training in the first 6 hours after installation.
● Change the installation location with each new sensor - this will reduce the risk of skin irritation.
● Do not remove the sensor before the service life expires (usually 14 days).
● If the sensor comes off, it cannot be reused, install a new one.
What's included in the kit:
● LinX CGM sensor (sealed package)
● Applicator (device for installation)
● Fixation patch
● Disinfection wipe (or alcohol swab)
● User manual
● Activation code (may be printed on the package or included separately)
LinX CGM Sensor Installation Instructions
Step 1: Preparation
1. Wash your hands with soap and dry thoroughly.
2. Choose a place to install the sensor:
● This is usually the outer part of the shoulder (deltoid area) or the side of the abdomen;
● The place should be clean, without abrasions, scars, rashes and not under a belt or waistband.
3. Wipe the selected area with an alcohol wipe and let dry completely.
⚠️ Do not use creams, oils or lotions 1-2 hours before installation - this may affect the fixation.
Step 2: Preparing the applicator
1. Remove the applicator from the packaging.
2. Make sure the sensor is properly installed in the device - it does not need to be disassembled or adjusted.
3. Do not press the button prematurely - the sensor is activated only upon installation.
Step 3: Installing the sensor
1. Position the applicator vertically over the chosen placement site.
2. Press the base firmly onto the skin.
3. Press the button or push the trigger mechanism in one quick motion (depending on the model).
4. The device will automatically insert the sensor under the skin and fix it.
⭐ The installation is virtually painless. You may feel a slight pressure or click - this is normal.
Step 4: Fixing the sensor
1. Remove the applicator without tugging the sensor.
2. Apply the fixing patch (if included) over the sensor - this will provide additional protection during active movements and while sleeping.
3. Make sure everything is tightly held, but does not squeeze the skin.
Step 5: Activate the sensor in the LinX app
1. Open the LinX CGM mobile app on your smartphone (available for Android and iOS).
2. Go to the "Add sensor" or "New sensor" section.
3. Enter the activation code (or scan the QR code if available).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions - the sensor will calibrate within 60 minutes (in some models it may take up to 2 hours).
5. Once calibration is complete, the sensor will begin displaying glucose levels in real time.
