The Dexcom G7 Sensor is an all-in-one real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor designed for people with diabetes aged 2 years and over. It continuously measures glucose in the interstitial fluid and automatically sends readings to a compatible smartphone, smartwatch or optional Dexcom G7 Receiver without the need for routine scanning.
Key features:
Sensor placement:
Always use an approved sensor site appropriate for the user's age.
How to use:
Clean and thoroughly dry the chosen application site.
Use the supplied applicator to insert the Dexcom G7 Sensor according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Pair the sensor with the Dexcom G7 app or compatible Dexcom G7 Receiver using the sensor's 4-digit pairing code.
After the approximately 30-minute warm-up period, glucose readings will automatically begin.
The sensor can be worn for up to 10 days. At the end of the 10-day session, a 12-hour grace period allows additional flexibility in choosing when to replace the sensor.
Important information:
Dexcom G7 measures glucose in the interstitial fluid rather than directly in the blood.
If glucose alerts or readings do not match your symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
Check that your smartphone model and operating system are compatible with the Dexcom G7 app before use. The Dexcom G6 Receiver is not compatible with Dexcom G7 Sensors.
The sensor must be removed before an MRI scan or high-frequency electrical heat treatment such as diathermy. For CT scans, Dexcom advises that the sensor may remain in place only if it can be kept outside the scanned area and appropriately protected.
Hydroxyurea can cause falsely high Dexcom sensor readings. Higher-than-recommended doses of paracetamol may also cause readings to appear higher than the actual glucose level.
Do not reuse the sensor. Replace it when the sensor session and grace period have ended, or earlier if instructed by the system.
