Dexcom G5 Getting Started Manual page 10

The Dexcom G5 Alarm/Alert vibrations are not any different from other vibrating
apps on your smart device. Medical device apps, like the Dexcom G5 Mobile App,
do not have any special priorities over your smart device's features. You cannot
determine if a vibration is a notification from your Dexcom G5 Mobile App or
another app. The only way to know is to look at the screen.
Missed an Alarm or Alert?
An Alarm or Alert from the Dexcom G5 Mobile App cannot be heard through your
smart device's speakers if headphones are plugged in.
Make sure you unplug your headphones when you are done using them,
otherwise you might not hear an Alarm or Alert from the Dexcom G5.
Precautions
Sensor Package
Do not use the Dexcom G5 Sensor if its sterile package has been damaged or opened.
Using a non-sterile sensor might cause infection.
Clean and Dry Before Using
Do not open the sensor package until you have washed your hands with soap and
water, and let them dry. You may contaminate the insertion site and suffer an infection
if you have dirty hands while inserting the sensor.
Do not insert the sensor until you have cleaned the skin near the insertion site with a
topical antimicrobial solution, such as isopropyl alcohol, and allowed the skin to dry.
Inserting into unclean skin might lead to infection. Do not insert the sensor until the
cleaned area is dry so the sensor adhesive will stick better.
Reusable: Don't Throw Away
Do not discard your transmitter. It is reusable. The same transmitter is used for each
session until you have reached the end of the transmitter's battery life.
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:
