showing the rising or falling single arrow or double arrow, which indicates that
your blood glucose is rapidly rising or falling. Calibrating during rapid rise or fall
of blood glucose may affect sensor accuracy.
Don't Share Your Transmitter
Do not share your transmitter with another person or use a transmitter from
another person. The Dexcom G5 Mobile is a prescription-only medical device and
is meant, or indicated, for individual use only.
The transmitter is tied to the sensor glucose readings. If the transmitter is used
by more than one person, the glucose readings, alerts, and reports may be
wrong.
Airport Scanners
Be aware of airport body scanners and baggage x-rays when you travel. Do not
place any part of the Dexcom G5 Mobile system in the baggage x-ray machine or
body scanner. Ask for visual inspection instead:
• Baggage x-ray machine: Instead of putting any part of your Dexcom
G5 Mobile through the baggage x-ray, ask the TSA officers to visually
inspect it.
• Body scanner: When you are wearing your Dexcom G5 Mobile,
request hand-wanding or full-body pat-down and visual inspection
instead of going through the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT)
body scanner. AIT is also called millimeter wave scanner.
Do not rely on CGM readings while being checked by an x-ray or hand-wand
metal detector. Once you have cleared the security checkpoint area, you can
resume using CGM data. Although the system has been tested with several metal
detectors and hand-wands, it is unknown if exposure to certain x-ray, hand-
wands, and/or AIT body scanners can affect the system performance and results
in you missing a severe low or high glucose event.
If you are unsure of whether the airport scanner is a metal detector, an AIT body
scanner or an x-ray, ask the TSA officer or request hand-wanding or full-body
pat-down.
Caution
U.S. law restricts the sale of the Dexcom G5 Mobile to sale by or on order of a
physician.
