Cautions
• DO NOT exchange smart transmitters with another person. Each smart transmitter can be linked to only one
sensor at a time.
• The following medical therapies or procedures may cause permanent damage to the sensor particularly if
used in close proximity to the device:
– Lithotripsy – The use of lithotripsy is not recommended for people who have an inserted sensor because
the eects are unknown.
– Diathermy – DO NOT use diathermy on people who have an inserted sensor. Energy from the diathermy can
transfer through the sensor and cause tissue damage in the insertion area.
– Electrocautery – The use of electrocautery near the inserted sensor may damage the device. DO NOT use
electrocautery near the sensor.
• DO NOT wear the smart transmitter during medical x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans. To avoid
interference with results, remove the smart transmitter before undergoing medical x-ray or CT scans. Make
sure your doctor knows about your smart transmitter.
• The sensor and smart transmitter should be linked the day of insertion. Failure to link the sensor and smart
transmitter could result in a delay in receiving glucose readings.
• Steroid use – It has not been determined whether the risks usually associated with injectable dexamethasone
acetate apply to the use of this dexamethasone acetate elution ring, a highly localized, controlled-release
device. The dexamethasone acetate ring could cause other adverse events not listed or previously seen.
• If the sensor or smart transmitter feels warm, remove the smart transmitter immediately and contact your
doctor for further advice. A warm sensor could mean there is an infection or a sensor malfunction.
• Remove the smart transmitter from your arm before charging the smart transmitter battery. Failure to remove
the smart transmitter while it is charging could result in electrical shock.
