Electromagnetic interference can still occur in the home health care environment as
control over the EMC environment cannot be guaranteed. An interference event can
be recognized by gaps in G6 readings or gross inaccuracies. The user is encouraged
to try to mitigate these effects by one of the following measures:
• If the G6 reading changes by 30% or more in 5 minutes and the change does
not reflect symptoms or recent actions, take a meter reading. Compare the two
readings and contact your local Dexcom representative if they do not follow the
30/30 rule. The 30/30 rule is the following: If the meter shows less than 3.9
mmol/L, CGM should read within ± 30 points. If the meter shows 3.9 mmol/L
and above, the CGM should read ± 30%. Example: a 11.2 mmol/L sensor reading
and a 10.4 mmol/L glucose meter value = a 7% difference (this is still considered
accurate). If a reading is outside of the 30/30 rule, if you want, calibrate again to
more closely align your CGM and meter.
