What Happens If Bleeding Occurs During BUZUD CGM Sensor Insertion?
In most cases, minor bleeding does not require you to replace the sensor. However, if you notice that the blood has spread visibly through the adhesive patch, follow these steps:
If significant bleeding occurs:
- Remove the current sensor and insert a new one at a different location.
- Submit a product support request to BUZUD to report the issue.
Why Is There Blood Around the Sensor Site?
To measure glucose from interstitial fluid, the sensor insertion needle must penetrate the dermis layer of the skin, which contains many small blood vessels.
Bleeding can occur if the needle punctures one of these vessels.
In addition, inserting the sensor too deeply or applying excessive pressure during application may increase the risk of bleeding.
Make sure to apply steady and gentle pressure during sensor insertion to avoid deep penetration.
When to Seek Medical Attention
If you experience unusual pain, discomfort, or prolonged bleeding at the insertion site, contact a healthcare professional for evaluation.
