Dexcom CGM System for making diabetes treatment decisions or
assessing glucose control when taking hydroxyurea.
Follow G6 Pro instructions. If not, your patient could have a severe low
or high glucose event.

Know Your System

Don't rely on the G6 Pro app until your patient understands how to use
it and their device's Bluetooth.
If water is between the transmitter and the display device – for
example, if the patient is showering or swimming – keep them closer
than 20 feet to each other. The range is reduced because Bluetooth
doesn't work as well through water.

Does the Smart Device Work?

If the smart device is turned off (shut down), it will not show G6 Pro
readings or alarm/alerts. Make sure the display device is turned on, the
battery is charged, the screen is not broken and the speaker works.
Follow G6 Pro instructions. If your patient doesn't, they could have a
severe low or high glucose event.

Check Peripheral Devices

Use headphones with a smart device? What about Bluetooth speakers
or a smart watch? When using peripherals, patient may get alarm/
alerts on only one device or peripheral, or not all. After connecting any
peripheral devices, make sure that smart device settings still allow for
receiving alarms or alerts.

2.5 Caution

US Federal law restricts the sale of G6 Pro to the sale by or on the
order of a physician.
