Glossary
A medical device used to measure how much
glucose is in the blood.
A comparison or measurement between your
meter's fingerstick BG values and the sensor's
interstitial fluid glucose readings. Although blood
and interstitial fluids are similar, glucose
concentration is higher in your blood. Calibration
allows alignment between your sensor and meter
readings.
When you calibrate, you take a fingerstick
measurement from your meter then enter the
value into your receiver or smart device. The
system uses that value to verify that the sensor
glucose reading is on track.
A system that uses a sensor inserted under the
skin to check glucose levels in interstitial fluid. A
transmitter sends sensor glucose readings to a
display device.
Users must confirm glucose levels with a BG
meter before making a change in treatment.
A safety statement outlining specific situations
where the G5 Mobile should not be used
because it may be harmful to you. The risk of use
clearly outweighs any possible benefit.
