In the event of a vaginal yeast infection, you should not use the sensor for the duration of the infection and fully treat/cure it in consultation with your gynecologist.


Before reinserting the sensor for the first time after a yeast infection, you should carefully disinfect it with 70% isopropyl alcohol (not 90% or higher; please check the product's instructions for use).


Follow these steps:

  • First clean the sensor, storage box, and all contact parts with water and mild soap. Rinse off soap residue thoroughly.

  • Soak a clean cloth in 70% isopropyl alcohol and wipe down the sensor carefully (for the trackleCatch, also clean the inside of the hole for the removal strap, using a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol if necessary).

  • Treat the storage box and all other parts that come into contact with the sensor in the same manner.

  • Finally, before inserting the sensor the next time, make sure to rinse it under running water so that no disinfectant residue disrupts your vaginal flora.

  • Allow all parts to dry completely.

Please note: over the sensor's entire lifespan of two or two and a half years, you must not subject it to this procedure more than twenty times.
