Here’s what to do
Stay calm and check the site. A small drop of blood or mild redness is normal.
Gently clean the area. Use a clean tissue or gauze to absorb any blood. Avoid pressing too hard on the sensor.
Monitor for ongoing bleeding or discomfort.
If the bleeding stops quickly and your sensor is reading normally, you can continue using it.
If bleeding continues, causes pain, or interferes with readings, remove the sensor and apply light pressure with a clean tissue until it stops.
Contact Nico Support. Let us know at [email protected] if you had to remove your sensor or if you’re unsure whether it’s working correctly.
💡 Tip:
To reduce the chance of bleeding next time, choose a site with a bit more fatty tissue (like the back of the upper arm), avoid veins or visible blood vessels, and press the sensor gently but firmly during application.
