Capturing Events
The Capture Event feature allows you to electronically save certain types of information that is used with
Medtronic CareLink Personal software (not available in all locations) to generate treatment reports that
you can share with your healthcare professional. Some examples include:
• Non-calibration meter BG measurements (used to manage your diabetes but not to calibrate the
system)
• The type and amount of insulin you use
• The amount of carbohydrates you consume
• The intensity and duration of exercise you do
• Other (this can be used for anything else as needed)
Make sure you enter events when they happen. The system records the time of the entry and cannot be
changed to show an earlier time. You also cannot change entries after you have put the information into
your monitor (except meter BG entries used to calibrate the sensor).
Capture Event also allows you to manually enter and save the following information, which can also be
sent to Medtronic CareLink Personal software (not available in all locations):
• Sensor glucose measurements
• Sensor glucose alert settings
• Sensor glucose limit alerts
• Meter blood glucose measurements that are used to calibrate the system
Entering non-calibration meter BG measurements
Non-calibration meter BG measurements are those taken when you will not use them for calibration, such
as when you eat or when your blood glucose is rising or falling rapidly.
1
Make a note of the non-calibration meter blood glucose measurement.
2 Open the ENTER BG screen.
Main > Capture Event > Enter BG
The ENTER BG screen flashes with the most recent meter BG reading you entered.
3 Enter your new measurement, then press ACT. A message asks if you want to save the new
measurement that is shown on the screen. The Yes option is selected.
