Eversense CGM User Guide
Warnings
•
The Eversense CGM System has not been tested using insertion sites other than the upper arm.
•
If at any time your symptoms are not consistent with the sensor glucose readings, you should test your
glucose with a blood glucose meter.
•
Before making a treatment decision, you should take into account the sensor glucose value, the trend graph,
the trend arrow and any alerts from the Eversense CGM System. If no trend arrow is displayed, the system
does not have enough data to display direction and rate of change. You should not make a treatment decision
based solely on the sensor glucose value.
•
If your smart transmitter is damaged or cracked, DO NOT use, as this could create an electrical safety hazard
or malfunction, and could result in electrical shock.
•
Close contact with direct EMI may interfere with the smart transmitter’s ability to send data to your mobile
device. Move away from the source of EMI and check that your mobile device is connected to your smart
transmitter.
•
Antibiotics of the tetracycline class may falsely lower sensor glucose readings. You should not rely on sensor
glucose readings while taking tetracyclines.
•
The bandage should remain covering the incision for 48 hours as this is a standard of care to allow formation
of a water-tight seal to help protect against infection. Until it has healed, always cover the insertion site with
a sterile bandage before placing the smart transmitter adhesive over the sensor. Failure to do so could result
in infection at the insertion site.
•
Please review this User Guide with your health care provider. For additional Eversense product questions and
troubleshooting issues, contact Customer Support toll free in the US at 844-SENSE4U (844-736-7348).
•
Always calibrate the system using only a fingerstick blood sample. DO NOT use an alternative site (such as
forearm or palm) blood glucose reading to calibrate the system.
