Is Your NIMA Sensor Ready?

If your NIMA Sensor was purchased before 2026, you may need to requalify it before use to ensure it’s set up correctly and working as expected.

NOTE: If your sensor is pre-2026, it may not pair with the app. If the sensor can still hold a charge, you can use the new capsules and view results directly on the device screen.

What You'll Need

  • NIMA Sensor
  • A smartphone or tablet with the NIMA Now app
  • Charging cable
  • Lint-free lens cloth
  • Compressed air (optional)

Requalify in 4 Steps

STEP 1

Charge, Rest & Check Battery

  • Plug in and charge sensor for at least 90 minutes
  • Unplug and let sensor rest for 24 hours
  • Turn the sensor on and check the battery level
What you’re looking for:
  • 3 bars = good to go
  • Less than 3 bars = the battery may no longer hold a charge

If your sensor doesn’t hold a charge, you can keep it plugged in while testing or contact customerservice@nimanow.com for help with replacement options.

STEP 3

Pair & Update Your Sensor

  • Turn on your sensor
  • Follow the in-app pairing instructions
  • Look for “Pairing Successful”

If prompted:

  • Go to Settings → Your Gluten Sensor
  • Select Update Your Gluten Sensor

If no update option appears, your sensor may not support firmware updates. Contact Support at customerservice@nimanow.com.

STEP 4

Clean & Test with Capsules

  • Clean the capsule well using a lint-free cloth and/or compressed air. Using a slightly damp cloth is okay if needed. NOTE: Do not spray water into the slot as it will damage the sensor.
  • Use the 50% off coupon code that was sent to your email to order a new box of capsules
  • Use up to 3 test capsules to test the sensor’s performance. Test foods that are known to be gluten-free or have gluten.

If the test results look accurate, congrats! Your sensor is ready to use. If you see errors, contact NIMA Support at customerservice@nimanow.com
