Warnings
• The Eversense CGM System has not been tested using insertion sites other than the upper arm.
• 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 metre.
• Always test your glucose with your blood glucose metre 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 EMI (electromagnetic interference) 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.
• Tetracyclines may falsely lower sensor glucose readings. Always test your glucose with your blood glucose meter
if you are taking tetracyclines.
• Until it has healed, always cover the insertion site with a sterile bandage before placing the smart transmitter
adhesive over the sensor. Failure to do so could result in infection at the insertion site.
• Please review this User Guide with your healthcare professional. For additional Eversense product questions and
troubleshooting issues, please see the back cover to find your local distributor.
• Always calibrate the system using only a fingerstick blood sample. DO NOT use an alternative site (such as
forearm or palm) blood glucose reading to calibrate the system.
• DO NOT insert your infusion set within 10.16 cm (4 in) of the sensor site. If the insulin delivery site is within
10.16 cm (4 in) of the sensor site, it may interfere with sensor glucose readings and can cause inaccurate glucose
readings.
• Always follow your health care provider’s instructions for care after the sensor insertion or removal. Contact your
health care provider if any of the following events occur:
– You have pain, redness, or swelling at the incision site(s) later than 5 days after the sensor insertion or removal.
