Don’t Share Your Transmitter; Airport Scanners - Dexcom G5 User Manual

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:
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
• Body scanner: When you are wearing your Dexcom G5 Mobile, request
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.
