Precautions
•
DO NOT exchange smart transmitters with another person. Each smart transmitter can be linked to only one
sensor at a time. The system is to be used by one person in the home environment.
•
The following medical therapies or procedures may cause permanent damage to the sensor particularly if
used in close proximity to the device:
– Lithotripsy –
The use of lithotripsy is not recommended for people who have an inserted sensor because
the effects are unknown.
– Diathermy –
DO NOT use diathermy on people who have an inserted sensor. Energy from the diathermy can
transfer through the sensor and cause tissue damage in the insertion area.
– Electrocautery –
The use of electrocautery near the inserted sensor may damage the device. DO NOT use
electrocautery near the sensor.
•
Steroid use – It has not been determined whether the risks usually associated with injectable dexamethasone
acetate apply to the use of this dexamethasone acetate elution ring, a highly localized, controlled-release
device. The dexamethasone acetate ring could cause other adverse events not listed or previously seen.
•
DO NOT wear the smart transmitter during medical x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans. To avoid
interference with results, remove the smart transmitter before undergoing medical x-ray or CT scans. Make
sure your health care provider knows about your smart transmitter.
•
The sensor and smart transmitter should be linked the day of insertion. Failure to link the sensor and smart
transmitter could result in a delay in receiving glucose readings.
•
If the sensor, insertion site or smart transmitter feels warm, remove the smart transmitter immediately and
contact your health care provider for further advice. A warm sensor could mean there is an infection or a
sensor malfunction.
•
DO NOT attempt to use the Eversense App while operating a motor vehicle.
•
You should not receive massage therapy near the inserted sensor site. Massage therapy near the sensor site
could cause discomfort or skin irritation.
