Automatic Sensor Shut-Off In Both Real-Time And Blinded; Modes - Dexcom G4 Professional User Manual

CHAPTER 11: ENDING A SENSOR SESSION
PRECAUTION
Do not discard your transmitter. It is reusable. The
same transmitter is used for each session until you
have reached the end of the transmitter battery life.
When healthcare professionals use one transmitter for
multiple patients, the transmitter must be returned to the
healthcare professional.
The sensor gives you sensor glucose readings for up to seven days
when used in real-time mode. The performance of a sensor has not
been tested beyond seven days.
Information for the end of a sensor session:
• Do not remove the transmitter from the sensor pod while the pod is
attached to the skin.
• Consult the local waste management authorities for instructions
to dispose of blood contacting parts (sensor and applicator) if you
remove the sensor outside of the healthcare professional office.
• In some cases, the sensor session may end before you have
finished a full 7-day period. If this happens, see Chapter 13, Section
13.6, Sensor Shut-Off Troubleshooting.
• Glucose alerts and alarm do not work after the sensor session
ends in both real-time and blinded modes.
11.1 AUTOMATIC SENSOR SHUT-OFF IN BOTH
REAL-TIME AND BLINDED MODES
The receiver tells you how much time you have left until the sensor
session is complete. The Replace Sensor screen shows at 6 hours, 2
