Detach Serter from Pedestal
To detach the Serter from the pedestal, place two fingers on the pedestal arms and slowly pull the Serter straight up.
Do not detach the pedestal from the Serter in mid-air, as this might damage the sensor.

Remove Needle Housing
11
Gently hold the base of the sensor against the skin. Hold the needle housing at the top and slowly pull straight out, away from the sensor.
Dispose of the needle housing in a sharps container after a single use.Do not clean or resterilize, and do not try to extract the needle from the needle housing.
WARNING: If bleeding occurs, apply steady pressure using WARNING: If bleeding occurs, apply steady pressure using sterile gauze or a clean cloth for up to three minutessterile gauze or a clean cloth for up to three minutes

Skill Practice
• Table lead will guide you through process• Two participants at a time will insert
sensors, apply overtape, and attach MiniLink, using model abdomen.
• Do NOT insert sensors into yourself, each other, or other living beings
• When you have completed your practice, remove your sensors from models and place into sharps container.
• The next pair of participants will then insert sensors.
