not ideal sites to measure glucose. Insertion in these areas might affect sensor
accuracy.
Avoid injecting insulin or placing an insulin pump infusion set within three inches of
the sensor. The insulin might affect sensor performance.
Precautions (continued)
The following precautions 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:
Use Correct Transmitter, Receiver, and Sensor
Different generations of Dexcom CGM System transmitters and receivers are not
interchangeable with each other.
The Dexcom G5 transmitter and receiver are not compatible with the Dexcom G4
PLATINUM CGM System transmitter and receiver. The Dexcom G5 will not work if
you mix the transmitter and receiver from different generations.
You can use a Dexcom G4 PLATINUM sensor with the Dexcom G5 System.
Before using the sensor, make sure the sensor label says "Dexcom G5 Mobile/G4
PLATINUM Sensor" or "Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor."
Communication Range
Avoid separating the transmitter and receiver by more than 20 feet. The
transmission range from the transmitter to the receiver is up to 20 feet without
obstruction. Wireless communication does not work well through water so the
range is much less if you are in a pool, shower, etc.
Types of obstruction differ and have not been tested. If your transmitter and receiver
are farther than 20 feet apart or are separated by an obstruction, they might not
communicate or the communication distance may be shorter.
Setting Alarm/Alert Notifications
When using both a receiver and a smart device with your Dexcom G5, you must set
your settings separately in each. If you set up one device and then use another, you
might not get an Alarm or Alert.
Using an accessory device (like a smart watch) might override your smart device
sounds. Alarm or Alerts might vibrate or be heard on the accessory instead of your
