Appendix F: Technical Information
Number of Readings Provided
The G6 is capable of providing a reading every 5 minutes, or up to 288 readings per
day. For a variety of reasons, the G6 may not display a glucose reading and readings
are “skipped.” The percentage of readings you can expect to receive from the G6 over
the sensor life is 98.6%. More than 97% of the sensors captured readings at least
90% of the time. For the G6 with auto-applicator, approximately 99% of the sensors
displayed reading every 5 minutes at least 90% of the time. Table 8 below describes
the reading captured rate by each wear day over the sensor life.
