Warning
Don’t
: Insert the sensor component of the G5 Mobile in a site other than
the belly/abdomen (ages 2 years and older) or the upper buttocks (ages 2
to 17 years).
Why:
The placement and insertion of the G5 Mobile sensor is not approved
for other sites.
Consequences:
The system has not been tested in other areas and may
not work properly if inserted in other areas
.
Warning
Do:
Store sensor between 36° F-77° F during its shelf life.
Why:
Storing the sensor incorrectly might cause the sensor glucose
readings to be inaccurate.
Never store sensors in the freezer.
Consequences:
If stored outside of 36° F-77° F, your sensor glucose
readings may not be accurate, resulting in you missing a severe low or
high glucose event.
Warning
Don’t:
Never use the G5 Mobile sensor glucose readings for treatment
decisions.
Do:
Only use BG values from your BG meter for treatment decisions (for
example, how much insulin to take).
Why:
Since they measure your glucose from different body fluids, sensor
glucose readings can be different from your meter’s BG values.
Consequences:
Using sensor glucose readings for treatment decisions
could result in you missing a severe low or high event.
