Dexcom G5 Getting Started Manual page 7

Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) scan, or high-frequency
electrical heat (diathermy) treatment.
The Dexcom G5 has not been tested during MRI or CT scans or with diathermy
treatment. The magnetic fields and heat could damage the components of the Dexcom
G5, which may cause it to display inaccurate blood glucose readings or may prevent
alerts.
Medications
Taking medications with acetaminophen while wearing the Dexcom G5 may
inaccurately raise the glucose readings generated by the Dexcom G5. The level of
inaccuracy depends on the amount of acetaminophen active in your body and is
different for each person. Do not rely on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data
produced by the Dexcom G5 if you have recently taken acetaminophen.
Warnings
Sensor Fractures
Do not ignore sensor fractures. Sensors may fracture or detach from the sensor pod
on rare occasions. If a sensor breaks and no portion of it is visible above the skin,
do not attempt to remove it. Seek professional medical help if you have symptoms
of infection or inflammation—redness, swelling or pain—at the insertion site. If you
experience a broken sensor, please report this to our Technical Support department at
1.877.339.2664 (toll free) or 1.858.200.0200.
Do Not Use Damaged Goods
If the Dexcom G5 Receiver or Dexcom G5 Transmitter is damaged or cracked, do not
use it. This could create an electrical safety hazard causing possible electrical shocks
resulting in injury. In addition, a damaged or cracked Dexcom G5 Receiver or Dexcom
G5 Transmitter may cause the Dexcom G5 System not to function properly.
Choking
Do not allow young children to hold the sensor or transmitter without adult supervision.
The sensor and transmitter include small parts that may pose a choking hazard.
The following warnings 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:
