24Indications for Use and Safety Statement
Precautions (continued)
The following precautions may result in the consequence of missing severe hypoglycemia
(low blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) or making a treatment decision that
results in injury:
Do not enter Dexcom G5 Mobile sensor glucose readings for calibration. Entering
incorrect blood glucose values, blood glucose values obtained more than 5 minutes
before entry, or sensor glucose readings might affect sensor performance.
Treatment Decisions
Make diabetes treatment decisions based on the combination of the sensor glucose
reading, trend arrow, and/or alerts generated by the Dexcom G5 Mobile.
Expiration Date
Do not use Dexcom G5 Mobile sensors beyond their expiration date. Before
inserting a sensor, confirm the expiration date that is listed on the package label in
the following format: YYYY-MM-DD.
Do not use sensors that are beyond their expiration date, because the sensor
glucose readings might not be accurate.
Sensor Placement
Avoid using the same spot repeatedly for sensor insertion. Rotate your sensor
placement sites, and do not use the same site for two sensor sessions in a row.
Using the same site might cause scarring or skin irritation.
Avoid inserting the sensor in areas that are likely to be bumped, pushed, or
compressed or areas of skin with scarring, tattoos, or irritation as these are
not ideal sites to measure glucose. Insertion in these areas might affect sensor
accuracy.
Avoid injecting insulin or placing an insulin pump infusion set within three inches of
the sensor. The insulin might affect sensor performance.
Use Correct Transmitter, Receiver, and Sensor
