Glucose Alerts And Alarm In Real-Time Mode; High Glucose Alert In Real-Time Mode - Dexcom G4 Professional User Manual

9
This table describes the receiver alerts and alarm and explains how the
receiver will notify you in the default setting. The only alert in this table
that can be activated in blinded mode is the out of range alert.
The receiver may alert you at other times you need to take action, such
as low battery, failed sensor, etc. See Chapter 18, Appendix I, for a
detailed list of these other alerts.
9.1.2 GLUCOSE ALERTS AND ALARM IN
REAL-TIME MODE
The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Professional System lets you create
personal settings for how you want the receiver to tell you what is going
on if the receiver is used in real-time mode. The low and high glucose
alerts tell you when the sensor glucose readings are outside the target
glucose range. Rise and fall (rate of change) alerts let you know when
the glucose levels are changing fast (see Chapter 9, Section 9.2,
Advanced Alerts). The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Professional System also
has a 55 mg/dL low glucose alarm that cannot be changed or turned off.
This safety feature tells you the glucose level may be dangerously low.
You can set high and low glucose alerts to vibrate and beep. This feature
can help during sleeping, driving, exercising or during meetings.
When you have both the high and low alerts turned on, a gray zone on
the trend graph shows the target range.
9.1.2.1 HIGH GLUCOSE ALERT IN REAL-TIME
MODE
When the sensor glucose readings are at or
above the high alert level, this screen shows the
high glucose alert level. The receiver vibrates
and/or beeps depending on the profile setting
(see Chapter 9, Section 9.3, Alert Profiles). This
level shows as a yellow line on the trend graph.
The receiver continues to alert until you press

the SELECT button to clear the alert or until the
