The SEVEN PLUS is made up of three technologies that all work together: the Sensor,
the Transmitter, and the Receiver. The Sensor is a disposable unit that you insert into
your abdomen (belly) to continuously monitor your glucose levels for up to 7 days. The
Transmitter is a reusable device that snaps into the Sensor Pod. Your Transmitter will
wirelessly send your Sensor-measured glucose information to your Receiver. The Receiver
is a hand-held device that receives and displays your glucose information every 5 minutes.
The Receiver displays your current glucose reading and shows your glucose trend
information from the past 1-hour, 3-hours, 6-hours, 12-hours, and 24-hours. You will also
see Adjustable High and Low Glucose Alerts, and a Low Glucose ALARM to tell you when
you are outside of your target glucose levels. Rise and Fall (Rate of Change) Alerts will let
you know when your glucose levels are changing fast.
You can use any FDA-cleared blood glucose meter for calibration with the OpenChoice
TM
feature on the SEVEN PLUS. The SEVEN PLUS is also directly compatible with the
Lifescan OneTouch Ultra Blood Glucose meter for calibration using an optional
® ® ®
Connection Cable, which is available for purchase from DexCom Customer Support.
This User's Guide describes how to use your SEVEN PLUS from start to finish of
