Warnings (continued)
The following warnings may result in the consequence of missing severe hypoglycemia (low
blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) or making a treatment decision that
results in injury:
Placement
Do not insert the sensor component of the Dexcom G5 in a site other than the belly/
abdomen (ages 2 years and older) or the upper buttocks (ages 2 to 17 years). The
placement and insertion of the sensor component of the Dexcom G5 is not approved
for other sites. If placed in other areas, the Dexcom G5 may not function properly.
Initial Calibration: Data/Alarm/Alert
Do not expect sensor glucose readings or Alarms/Alerts from the Dexcom G5 until
after the 2-hour startup. The Dexcom G5 will NOT provide any sensor glucose
readings or Alarms/Alerts until after the 2-hour startup ends AND you complete the
startup calibration. Use fingerstick glucose values from your blood glucose meter
during the 2-hour startup.
Sensor Storage
Store the sensor at temperatures between 36° F – 77° F for the length of the
sensor's shelf life. You may store the sensor in the refrigerator if it is within this
temperature range. The sensor should not be stored in the freezer.
Storing the sensor improperly might cause the sensor glucose readings to be
inaccurate.
Smart Device Settings
Your smart device's internal settings override any G5 Mobile app setting. In addition,
accessory devices (like a smart watch or other wearable smart devices) might
override your smart device's Alarm, Alert, and notification settings.
To receive Alarm or Alerts you must:
• Make sure the notifications for the G5 Mobile app are turned on in the
setting's menu of your smart device
• Check that the G5 Mobile app hasn't been shut down by your smart device
• Turn on Bluetooth on your smart device
• Turn off the Do Not Disturb feature on your smart device (if available)
