Risks and Side Eects
The glucose alerts and notifications will not audibly notify the user when the sound on your mobile device is turned
o. If the system cannot display a glucose value, it also cannot provide glucose alerts. If you are unable to feel the
vibration of the smart transmitter you may not notice the alerts. The system’s calculated glucose can be slightly
dierent from your blood glucose meter. This may cause an alert to activate at a dierent time than it would have if
the system’s values always matched the blood glucose meter values.
If you do not take frequent blood glucose measurements and miss an alert, you may not be aware of high or low
glucose levels. You may need medical attention in the event that you have high or low glucose and are unaware of it.
If you do not test your glucose with a blood glucose meter when you have symptoms of a low or high blood glucose
level OR when your symptoms are not consistent with the sensor glucose readings, you may miss a high or low
glucose event. Treatment decisions made without confirming with a blood glucose meter check may result in a high
or low glucose event, since blood glucose values can be slightly dierent than your sensor glucose values measured in
interstitial fluid.
The sensor is inserted by making a small incision and placing it under the skin. This process may cause infection, pain
or skin irritation. Additionally, the adhesive may cause a reaction or skin irritation.
Warnings
• If at any time you have symptoms of a low or high blood glucose level OR if your symptoms are not consistent
with the sensor glucose readings, you should test your glucose with a blood glucose meter.
• Always test your glucose with your blood glucose meter before making a treatment decision.
• If your smart transmitter is damaged or cracked, DO NOT use, as this could create an electrical safety hazard
or malfunction, and could result in electrical shock.
• Close contact with direct electromagnetic interference (EMI) may interfere with the smart transmitter’s ability
to send data to your mobile device. Move away from the source of EMI and check that your mobile device is
connected to your smart transmitter.
