19.1. Dexcom G6 Overview
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current sensor glucose value, trust how
your body feels and do not ignore symptoms of high and low glucose. Even
though insulin delivery adjusts automatically in Automated Mode with the
goal of bringing your glucose level to your dened Target Glucose, severe
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia may still occur.
If your sensor glucose values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check
your blood glucose using a BG meter, and consider treatment and/or Sensor
calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are
receiving inaccurate sensor glucose values.
• Erroneously high sensor glucose values can cause excessive insulin delivery,
leading to severe hypoglycaemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death.
• Erroneously low sensor glucose values can cause prolonged insulin
suspension, leading to hyperglycaemia, DKA or death.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
readings and you have followed all instructions described in this User Guide,
contact your healthcare provider.
e Omnipod 5 System is designed to connect with the
Dexcom G6 CGM
System. When connected to the
Dexcom G6, the Pod receives glucose values and
trends from the
Dexcom G6. In Automated Mode, the Pod uses sensor glucose
values to make automated insulin dosing decisions every 5 minutes. In both
Manual Mode and Automated Mode, a sensor glucose value and trend can be
used in the SmartBolus Calculator to calculate a suggested bolus.
Read and follow all Dexcom G6 product instructions, including Safety
Statements, in the Dexcom G6 CGM System Instructions for Use.
Note: All Sensor and Transmitter-specic actions and alerts are controlled
through your DexcomG6 app. See your Dexcom G6 CGM System Instructions for
Use for additional information.
Note: e DexcomG6 app and Omnipod 5 App do not directly communicate
with each other. ey have their own separate communication channels to
acquire sensor glucose values. As a result, you may notice that, at times, the sensor
glucose values may dier slightly in each app.
When connecting and using a Sensor, be aware of the following:
• Always check the Dexcom G6 expiry dates for the Sensor and Transmitter.
Do not start a Sensor past its Use-By date.
• Adhere to Dexcom's approved site placements for Dexcom G6 wear.
• All Dexcom G6 alerts are congured and driven by your Dexcom G6 app.
Set your Low and High alerts, as well as any other alerts in your Dexcom G6
app before using the Omnipod 5 System.
