Chapter 2: Indications for Use and Safety Statements
• Use as Directed
The transmitter is small and may pose a choking hazard. Don’t put it in your mouth
or let children hold it without adult supervision.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don’t, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
Precautions
• Reuse – Don’t Throw Away
When ending a session, don’t throw away the transmitter. The transmitter is
reusable until the G6 notifies you that the transmitter battery is about to expire.
• Don’t Share
Never share your transmitter. The G6 is a prescription-only medical device and is
meant for your use only. The transmitter is tied to the G6 readings. If used by more
than one person, the G6 readings, reports, alarm/alerts, etc., may be wrong.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don’t, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
System Safety Statements
Precautions
• Treatment Decisions
Use your G6 reading and trend arrow to make treatment decisions.
• Use Correct Transmitter, Receiver, and Sensor
G6 components are not compatible with any previous Dexcom products. Do not mix
transmitters, receivers, and sensors from different generations.
• Going Through Security Check Point
When wearing your G6, ask for hand-wanding or full-body pat-down and visual
inspection instead of going through theAdvanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body
scanner (also called a millimeter wave scanner) or putting any part of the G6 in the
baggage x-ray machine.
You can wear the G6 for the walk-through metal detector. If you do, use your meter
for treatment decisions until you leave the security area.
