Step 1: Apply Lingo biosensors only on the back of your upper arm. If placed in other areas, the Lingo biosensor may not function properly and could give inaccurate readings. Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks or lumps. Select an area of skin that generally stays flat during your normal daily activities (no bending or folding). To prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should select a different site other than the one most recently used.
Step 2: Wash application site using a plain soap, dry, and then clean with an alcohol wipe. This will help remove any oily residue that may prevent the Lingo biosensor from sticking properly. Allow site to air dry before proceeding.
Note: The area MUST be clean and dry following these instructions, or the Lingo biosensor may not stay on for the full wear duration.
Step 3: Open the Lingo biosensor pack by peeling the lid off completely. Unscrew the cap from the Lingo biosensor applicator and set the cap aside.
CAUTION: Do NOT use if the Lingo biosensor Pack or Lingo biosensor applicator seem to be damaged or already opened. Do NOT use if past expiration date.
Step 4: Line up the dark mark on the Lingo biosensor applicator with the dark mark on the Lingo biosensor pack. On a flat hard surface, press down firmly on the Lingo biosensor applicator until it comes to a stop.
Step 5: Lift the Lingo biosensor applicator out of the Lingo biosensor pack.
Step 6: The Lingo biosensor applicator is prepared and ready to apply the biosensor.
CAUTION: The Lingo biosensor applicator now contains a needle. Do NOT touch inside the Lingo biosensor applicator or put it back into the Lingo biosensor pack.
Step 7: Place the Lingo biosensor applicator over the prepared site, at the back of your upper arm, and push down firmly to apply the biosensor.
CAUTION: Do NOT push down on Lingo biosensor applicator until placed over prepared site to prevent unintended results or injury.
Step 8: Gently pull the Lingo biosensor applicator away from your body. The Lingo biosensor should now be attached to your skin.
Note: Applying the Lingo biosensor may cause bruising or bleeding. If there is bleeding that does not stop, remove the Lingo biosensor, and contact your health care professional.
Step 9: Make sure Lingo biosensor is secure after application. Put the cap back on the Lingo biosensor applicator. Discard the used Lingo biosensor applicator and Lingo biosensor pack according to local regulations.
Step 10: Pair your biosensor by:
- Make sure that your phone is connected to a network (WiFi or cellular). You can then download Lingo app from the App Store.
- Open the App and follow onscreen instructions to complete setup and accept the requested permissions.
- Once app setup is completed, your phone is now ready to pair the Lingo biosensor to start it.
- Hold the TOP of your phone very close to the Lingo biosensor. You will receive a tone and vibration after you have successfully started the biosensor. If your phone’s volume is turned off, you will not hear the tone.
The Lingo biosensor can be used to check your glucose 60 minutes after a successful pairing. If notifications are enabled, you will see a notification when the Lingo biosensor is ready.
