Dexcom G5x System User Guide
31
If your transmitter is damaged or cracked in any way, don’t use it. Damaged
components could create an electrical safety hazard or malfunction, which
might cause electrical shocks.
Choking
The transmitter is small and may pose a choking hazard. Don’t put it in your
mouth or allow children to play with it.
Precautions
Reusable: Don’t Throw Away
When ending a session, don’t throw away the transmitter.
The transmitter is reusable and can be used in multiple sensor sessions. Keep
using it until the system notifies you the transmitter battery is about to expire.
Don’t Share Your Transmitter
Never share your transmitter with another person. The system is a
prescription-only medical device and is meant, or indicated, for your use only.
Your transmitter is tied to your readings. If used by someone else, your
reports, Alarm and Alerts, etc., would be wrong, resulting in you missing a
severe low or high glucose event.
