4.2 Safety Statement
If you’ve used the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM CGM System, you might still have
its transmitter or receiver. While you can use the sensors across the different
generations (look for “G5 Mobile,” “G4 PLATINUM,” or “Dexcom G5
Mobile/G4 PLATINUM” on the sensor’s package), you can’t mix the
transmitter or receiver between the two systems.
