• Quality-check BG meter to make sure your BG meter is giving accurate values for calibration.
• Entering the correct fingerstick BG value is critical to obtaining accurate Sensor readings.
Use proper technique when performing a fingerstick test.
• Calibrate at any time as long as you see a CGM glucose reading or BG symbol (
CGM Data or Trend Screen.
• Calibrate a minimum of once every 12 hours.
• Calibrate whenever your glucose levels are rising or falling 1 .
Calibration - What NOT to do
• DO NOT calibrate when you see the or symbol on the CGM Trend or Data Screen.
• DO NOT calibrate if your BG is higher than 400 mg/dL or lower than 40 mg/dL.
• DO NOT use sampling sites other than your fingertips to get BG values for calibration.

Important information
m Warnings
• DO NOT use glucose readings from the G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter to make
treatment decisions, such as how much insulin you should take. The Sensor and Transmitter
do not replace a BG meter and BG values may differ from Sensor glucose readings. Using
glucose readings from the Sensor and Transmitter to make treatment decisions can result in
serious injury or death.
• Your Animas ® Vibe ™ System will not automatically make insulin adjustments based on the
CGM readings.
• You should calibrate the CGM at least once every 12 hours.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter must be removed prior to Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI), CT Scan, or diathermy treatment. The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM
Sensor and Transmitter have not been tested during MRI or CT Scans or with diathermy
treatment, and it is unknown if there are safety or performance issues.
• Taking acetaminophen-containing medications while wearing the Sensor may falsely raise your
Sensor glucose readings. The level of inaccuracy depends on the amount of acetaminophen
active in your body.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can the CGM do for me?
The CGM gives you a continuous picture of your glucose levels to help you detect trends and
patterns in your glucose levels. Trends let you see where your glucose levels have been, which
direction they are headed, and how fast they may be rising or falling.
Does the CGM replace my traditional BG meter?
No, it is meant to be used IN ADDITION TO your BG meter. When you use the CGM, you need to
take two fingerstick tests with your BG meter to start/calibrate your Sensor session. You will
also need to take at least 1 fingerstick test every 12 hours.
Should I make treatment decisions based on the results from my Animas
You must take a fingerstick test with your BG meter and use that BG value to make any insulin
or treatment decisions. Insulin dosing decisions should not be based solely on results from
the CGM readings.
Is it okay if my CGM readings and fingerstick BG readings do not match exactly?
Yes. This is normal.
Is my Transmitter reusable?
Yes. DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR TRANSMITTER. Your Transmitter is reusable.
How close do my pump and Transmitter have to be?
They need to be within 12 feet (3.6 meters) of each other at all times, including the Startup
period and while you are sleeping.
If I confirm a CGM Alert/Alarm, does my insulin delivery continue?
Yes.
Do my CGM alerts and alarms get progressively louder if I do not confirm them the first time
they sound?
No. The sound for the CGM alerts and alarms does not get progressively louder over time.
) on the
What is the warranty for my Animas Vibe System?
® ™
The warranty for your pump is 4 years. The warranty for your Transmitter is 6 months.
What do I do if I see instead of a glucose value?
Unknown CGM glucose readings ( on the CGM Data and Trend screens) are periods
of time when the System does not understand the CGM glucose readings. This is usually
temporary. Your CGM will normally correct itself, after which you will see CGM glucose
readings again.
When I prime the pump, change the insulin cartridge, or when there is an occlusion alarm, do
my CGM readings continue to be received and displayed on the pump?
Yes – CGM readings will continue to be received and displayed during these pump functions.
When I put my pump in Suspend mode, do my CGM readings continue to be received and
displayed on the pump?
No – You will not receive CGM readings when your pump is in Suspend mode.
What do I do if I have questions?
Contact Customer Support.
Is the Animas ® Vibe ™ System water resistant?
1
Yes. Your pump is water resistant up to 12 feet (3.6 meters) for 24 hours. Your Sensor and
Transmitter are water resistant up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) for 24 hours.

part of your life
The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter are not a
replacement for your traditional blood glucose (BG) meter. When
you use the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter, you
will see real-time continuous glucose readings on your Animas
Vibe Insulin Pump display every 5 minutes, for up to 7 days. These
™
readings will help you detect trends and patterns in your glucose
levels. This way, you can see where your glucose levels have been,
which direction they are headed, and how fast they may be rising
or falling.
This Quick Start Guide will help you set up the CGM part of your
