No number, no arrow, no CGM treatment decision: Use your BG meter to make
treatment decisions when your Dexcom G7 CGM System doesn't show both a number
and trend arrow as well as during the 30-minute sensor warmup period.
Don't use if you are on dialysis or critically ill: The Dexcom G7 CGM System
performance hasn't been evaluated in these populations and sensor readings may be
inaccurate.
Sensor wire breaks off: Don't ignore broken or detached sensor wires. If this
happens, please contact Dexcom Technical Support at dexcom.com or contact your
local Dexcom distributor.
If a sensor wire breaks off or detaches under your skin and you can't see it, don't try to
remove it. Contact your healthcare provider if you have symptoms of infection or
inflammation — redness, swelling, or pain — at the insertion site.
Where to insert — arm, abdomen, or buttocks: All patients can use their abdomen
and back of upper arm. Patients 2 to 6 years old can also choose their upper buttocks.
The sensor isn't tested or approved for other sites. Discuss the best site for you with
your healthcare provider.
Where to store: You can store your sensors at room temperature or in your
refrigerator, between 2°C and 30°C, but not in the freezer.
Inspect: Don't use any damaged or cracked Dexcom G7 CGM System component
because it may not work correctly and could cause injuries from electrical shocks.
Use as directed: The Dexcom G7 CGM System is small and may pose a choking
hazard if swallowed.
Check settings: Make sure your smart device volume is turned up, not muted, and
the speaker works. When you have headphones connected, alerts will only sound
through the headphones, not on your smart device speaker.
Your glucose alerts sound and display information by default even when your volume
is low or muted.
