5. (additional) Sometimes I bleed when a sensor is inserted. Not a gusher, just dribble down the arm. Doing this by a sink is a good idea.

6. If you are putting a sensor in your arm, having a mirror on the wall is a HUGE help.

7. If you get blood on the contacts of the sensor, you will need to wipe them off before adding the transmitter. Q-tips work well for this.

8. To use the one-hand IV 3000 overbandage, fold in half the long way, and cut out a rectangle the size and shape of the transmitter and mount.
