8 | Dexcom G4 PLATINUM (Pediatric) Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
Something that blocks the wireless path between the
transmitter and receiver. There are many types of things that
could come between the transmitter and receiver, and Dexcom
could not test them all. "Without obstruction" means that we
have not tested whether items blocking the transmitter or
receiver could affect the transmission range.
Sound pattern and volume level settings for your alerts.
The distance between the receiver and transmitter. Keep the
two devices within 20 feet of each other without obstruction to
get glucose information on your receiver.
A re-alert happens after the first alert is not confirmed.
The small device that collects your glucose information from the
sensor/transmitter. Your results show on the receiver screen as
a sensor glucose reading (mg/dL) and as a trend.
Alerts based on how fast and how much your glucose levels
rise/fall.
Radio-frequency transmission used to send glucose information
from the transmitter to the receiver.
The safety lock keeps the needle inside the applicator
before you are ready to insert the sensor. It also helps you
snap the transmitter out of the sensor pod after your sensor
session ends.
