CONTRAINDICATION:
• 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.
• The pump and any type of metallic infusion set must be removed prior to an MRI, and left
outside the room during the procedure.
Taping the Sensor Pod
The Sensor Pod should stay securely attached to your skin using its
own adhesive. But, if the patch is peeling up, you can use medical
tape (such as Blenderm
support. If you use tape, only tape over the white adhesive patch
on all sides for even support. DO NOT tape over the Transmitter or
any of the plastic parts of the Sensor Pod. DO NOT tape under the
Sensor Pod or leave any substance on the skin where you insert
the Sensor. Taping over the Transmitter or Sensor Pod, or under the
Sensor Pod may interfere with the recording and sending of CGM readings to the pump.
The Sensor/Transmitter and Water
The Sensor is water resistant when showering, bathing or swimming if the Transmitter is fully snapped
in. The Sensor has been tested to be water resistant when submerged up to 8.0 feet (2.44 meters) for
a maximum of 24 hours.
m
CAUTION: MAKE SURE to keep your Transmitter and pump within 12 feet (3.6 meters) of
each other to ensure wireless connection between devices. This is maximum range for wireless
transmission when there is no obstruction. Not keeping the devices within this range may not
allow the Transmitter to send Sensor glucose readings to the pump. Wireless communication
does not work well through water so the range is much less if you are in a pool, bathtub, or
waterbed. Nearby metallic objects may also affect the wireless connection.
