INTRODUCTION
The FreeStyle Navigator™ Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (the “System”) is
designed to give people with diabetes an accurate continual reading of their glucose
levels in real time. It does this by measuring glucose levels in the interstitial fluid—
the fluid in the tiny spaces between your tissues—via a small, thin, plastic Sensor
inserted just under the skin. The System is designed to be used instead of traditional
meters that use blood to measure glucose levels.
By having access to more frequent glucose measurements, you can monitor your
glucose levels and gain an understanding of glucose trends. This will help you and
your healthcare team see how diet, insulin, exercise, and medication affect your
glucose levels, and to adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
In addition to its ability to provide continuous glucose readings, the System has a
number of other helpful features, including alarms to alert you to low or high glucose
levels (hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia), and reports that show your glucose
information in easy-to-understand ways. The System is intended for everyday use in
the home and is available by prescription only. It is also intended for use in clinical
settings to help healthcare professionals evaluate glucose test results.
CAUTION: Read the entire User’s Guide before using the System. Adjustments to
your treatment plan should be done under the guidance of your healthcare team.
The System includes:
• A FreeStyle Navigator Sensor that you insert under your skin. Each inserted
Sensor is intended to remain in place and provide a continuous glucose
reading for up to 3 days.
• A wireless FreeStyle Navigator Transmitter, a small electronic device that
makes an electrical connection to the portion of the Sensor that extends
