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” or
“G4 PLATINUM” on the sensor’s package), you can’t mix the transmitter or receiver between
the two systems.
