WARNING
Don't: Insert the sensor component of the Dexcom G5 Mobile in a site other than the belly/
abdomen (ages 2 years and older) or the upper buttocks (ages 2 to 17 years).
Why: The placement and insertion of the sensor is not approved for other sites.
Consequences: The system has not been tested in other areas and may not work
properly if inserted in other areas.
WARNING
Do: Store sensor between 36° F-77° F during its shelf life.
Why: Storing the sensor incorrectly might cause the sensor glucose readings to
be inaccurate.
Never store sensors in the freezer.
Consequences: If stored outside of 36° F-77° F, your sensor glucose readings may not
be accurate, resulting in you missing a severe low or high glucose event or making a
treatment decision that results in injury.
WARNING
Do: Use BG values from your BG meter for treatment decisions (e.g., how much insulin to
take) if your Dexcom G5 Mobile does not display a sensor glucose reading or if you are
getting inconsistent readings.
Why: Inconsistent readings may indicate that your sensor glucose readings are inaccurate.
Consequences: Using inconsistent sensor glucose readings for treatment decisions could
result in you missing a severe low or high blood glucose event or making a treatment
decision that results in injury.
