Indications for use
The Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom G7 CGM System or
G7) is a glucose monitoring system indicated for continuously measuring glucose in
the interstitial fluid in persons age 2 years and older, including pregnant women. The
Dexcom G7 CGM System is designed to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) testing
for treatment decisions.
Interpretation of the Dexcom G7 CGM System results should be based on glucose
trends and several sequential sensor readings over time. The Dexcom G7 CGM
System also aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia,
facilitating both acute and long-term therapy adjustments.
The Dexcom G7 CGM System is intended for use by patients at home and in
healthcare facilities.
Contraindications
No MRI/CT/diathermy — MR unsafe: Don't wear any Dexcom G7 CGM
System component during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or
high-frequency electrical heat (diathermy) treatment. However, it's safe to
have a CT scan if you keep the sensor out of the scanned area and cover the
sensor with a lead apron during the scan.
The Dexcom G7 CGM System hasn't been tested in those situations when used during
an MRI scan, diathermy, or in the scanned area of a CT scan. The magnetic fields and
heat could damage components of the Dexcom G7 CGM System, which may cause
inaccurate sensor readings or prevent alerts. Without sensor readings or alerts, you
might miss a severe low/high glucose event.
Warnings
Read product instructions before you use your Dexcom G7 CGM System
Don't ignore low/high symptoms: Use your BG meter to make treatment decisions
when your sensor readings don't match your low/high symptoms. If needed, seek
immediate medical attention.
