[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 696305, member: 30007"] When I was putting the sensor in yesterday, it occurred to me that there may be a good reason for the high level of sensor failures. If you look at how it is put together in the applicator, you have the needle and filament unit and the sensor. When you combine the two pieces you are locking the filament component into the electronic component and then firing them both together into the skin. If this process doesn't quite work properly, it wouldn't take much for the filament end points to not connect properly to the electronics on the contact points. In my case, this meant that after the sensor was activated and it had run for 60 mins, the electronics weren't receiving something sensible from the filament. In other cases, after application, if this link was good enough to get started, but not seated fully correctly, you'd see the sensor fail after a period of time. I wonder if this is what the problem is... [/QUOTE]
