System • Using Your G6
Precautions
• Reuse – Do Not Throw Away
When ending a session, do not throw away the transmitter. The transmitter is
reusable until the G6 notifies you that the transmitter battery is about to expire.
For Healthcare Professionals: Please see cleaning and disinfection instructions in
Professional Use Instructions.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, 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.
Because we have not tested every x-ray and scanner, we do not know if they
damage the G6.
Not sure what kind of machine it is? Be safe – request either hand-wanding or
full-body pat-down.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
