Terminology
Sensor
Component of the monitoring system, including the applicator,
sensor electrode and sensor base. The applicator inserts the
sensor electrode under the skin to measure glucose level in
interstitial fluids.
CGM
Abbreviation for Continuous Glucose Monitoring
CGMS
Abbreviation for Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems
Applicator
A disposable component that inserts the sensor electrode under
the skin and will be removed after the sensor electrode is
inserted.
Sensor
electrode
A device inserted under the skin that reacts with the interstitial
fluid and converts biological signals into electrical signals.
Sensor base
A small plastic base attached to the abdomen skin to hold the
transmitter.
Releaser
A plastic part, used for removing the transmitter from the sensor
base.
Transmitter
The transmitter is a component of the Continuous Glucose
Monitoring system, which is embedded in the sensor base and
sends the glucose information to the Mobile Application
wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy.
Transmitter
serial number
Consisting of numbers and letters, it is unique for each
transmitter and can be found on the back of the transmitter and
on the transmitter package.
App
The mobile software that receives glucose information, displays
blood glucose readings, trend curves, trend arrows and
transmitter status.
Default value
The values that come with the system.
Calibration
Blood glucose value measured by a blood glucose meter and
entered into the App for calibration to ensure the accuracy of the
CGMS reading.
Blood Glucose
value
Values measured by blood glucose meter.
Sensor Glucose
readings
Values measured by Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems
Trend curve
Displays changes and tendencies of glucose readings over a
period of time and current glucose status.
Trend arrow
Indicates the speed and tendency of changes of glucose
readings.
Data receiving
range
The communication distance between the App and the
transmitter, which shall be within 2 m without obstacle.
Repeat prompt
When the first notification is not confirmed, the prompt will be
information repeated.
