General warnings
Read this entire user guide before attempting to insert the sensor.

using a different serter may result in improper insertion, pain, or
injury.
The Guardian Sensor (3) was developed for use with and the
performance evaluated with the approved system only. The sensor
should not be used as part of unapproved systems, as it may
provide inaccurate sensor glucose readings.
The sensor is designed to work with approved transmitters only.
It is not interchangeable with transmitters and recorders that
are not compatible with the sensor. Connecting your sensor to a
transmitter or recorder that is not approved for use with the sensor
may cause damage to the components or inaccurate sensor
glucose values.
Do not make therapy decisions based on sensor glucose values
because sensor glucose and blood glucose (BG) values may
differ. If your sensor glucose reading is low or high, or if you feel
symptoms of low or high glucose, do the following prior to making
therapy decisions. Confirm your blood glucose with your meter
using a fingerstick blood sample.
Taking medications with acetaminophen, such as Tylenol
®
, fever

depends on the amount of acetaminophen active in your body
