Results by site: 8.71% MARD on adult abdomen, 9.4% on adult arm, 8.89% on paediatric abdomen (ages 2 to 17), and 8.6% on paediatric arm (ages 13 to 17).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor has also been independently tested for resistance to interference from common everyday substances, such as vitamin C, which can affect readings on some older sensor designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing the sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe i6 uses an all in one applicator, there's no separate loading step. Remove the cap, press the applicator against the chosen site, and the sensor inserts and adheres in one motion. Warm up is 2 hours.
