Before you use the System, review all the product instructions and the insert. The User Guide includes all safety information and instructions for use. Talk to your professional healthcare team about how you should use your sensor glucose information to help manage your diabetes.
Failure to use the System according to the instructions for use may result in you missing a severe low blood glucose or high blood glucose event and/or making a treatment decision that may result in injury. If your glucose alarms and readings from the System do not match symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick blood glucose value from a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. Seek medical attention when appropriate.
The pictures and images shown in this guide are for illustration purpose only, and may differ in appearance from the actual product.
The GS1 CGM System comprises two main parts: a sensor kit and the SIBIONICS App (App). An additional overpatch is provided for additional adhesive strength to fix the Sensor to the skin.
You can use your smart phone (phone) to download and install the App.
The sensor kit and the SIBIONICS App can be used in the home environment. When opening the kit, check that all the contents are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the Customer Service at support@sibionics.com.
The sensor kit includes:
Sensor Applicator
Applies the Sensor to your body.
Sensor Pack
Used with the Sensor Applicator to prepare the Sensor for use.
Sensor (visible after application)
Read the following information before using the sensor kit.
The SIBIONICS App is installed by the user on the phone.
Overview
The SIBIONICS App is part of the GS1 CGM system. It retrieves glucose data from the Sensor to help monitoring the glucose levels. The App provides continuous, comprehensive, and reliable 24-hour glucose data, useful for glycemic control.
Expected Performance
The blood glucose reading is updated every 5 minutes in real-time monitoring.
The GS1 CGM System can be used during a wide variety of activities.
Activity | What You Need to Know |
Sleeping | Keep the phone within 6 meters(20 feet)of the Sensor without any obstacles (such as walls or metal) or the communication may be compromised. To receive alarms or reminders while sleeping, make sure that the sound and/or vibration is turned on for your phone. |
Bathing, Showering, and Swimming | The Sensor is water-resistant and can be worn while bathing, showering, or swimming. |
Other Activities | Intense exercise can cause the Sensor to loosen. Protect the Sensor from collision when wearing it during exercise, for example by wearing the overpatch. Jogging will not affect the Sensor performance. |
Step | Action | |
1 | ![]() | Apply Sensors only on the back of the upper arm. Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks, or lumps. If placed in other areas, the Sensor may not function properly and could give inaccurate readings.
|
2 | ![]() | Clean the application site, for example with an alcohol wipe, prior to application. This will help remove any oily residue that may prevent the Sensor from sticking properly. Allow the site to air dry before proceeding.
|
3 | ![]() ![]() | Open the Sensor Pack by peeling the lid off completely. Uncover the cap from the Sensor Applicator and set the cap aside.
|
4 | ![]() ![]() | Line up the small white bulge on the Sensor Applicator with the concavity on the edge of Sensor Pack. On a hard surface, press firmly down on the Sensor Applicator until it comes to a stop.
|
5 | ![]() ![]() | Lift the Sensor Applicator out of the Sensor Pack.
|
6 | ![]() | Press the safety clip and pull it out from the Sensor Applicator. |
7 | ![]() | Place the Sensor Applicator over the prepared site and push down firmly to apply the Sensor to your body. Make sure that the small white bulge on the Sensor Applicator is in the upward or downward direction. |
8 | ![]() | Gently pull the Sensor Applicator away from your body. The Sensor should now be attached to your skin. |
9 | ![]() | Make sure the Sensor is secure after application. |
After the application of a new Sensor, start the Sensor by using the App. For more details on how to start the Sensor, see section Pairing Your Sensor.
In the App, scan the QR code on the container box or manually enter the 8-digit code which is printed under the QR code so that the Sensor is started.
Note:
The Sensor can be worn for up to 14 days. At the end of the wear period, the Sensor will stop updating the glucose data and should be removed as instructed.
The Sensor automatically stops working after the 14-day wear period and must be replaced.
Replace the Sensor in case of any irritation or discomfort at the application site.
If the Sensor becomes loosen or the Sensor tip is coming out of the skin, no readings or unreliable low readings may be obtained. Verify that the Sensor has not come loose. If it has come loose, remove it, and apply a new one.
