Warnings
Sensor Fractures
Do not ignore sensor fractures. Sensors may fracture or detach from the sensor pod on
rare occasions. If a sensor breaks and no portion of it is visible above the skin, do not
attempt to remove it. Seek professional medical help if you have symptoms of infection or
inflammation—redness, swelling or pain—at the insertion site. If you experience a broken
sensor, please report this to your local Dexcom representative.
Do Not Use Damaged Goods
If the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System Receiver or G5 Mobile Transmitter is damaged
or cracked, do not use it. This could create an electrical safety hazard causing possible
electrical shocks resulting in injury. In addition, a damaged or cracked G5 Mobile
Receiver or G5 Mobile Transmitter may cause the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System not to
function properly.
Choking
Do not allow young children to hold the sensor or transmitter without adult supervision. The
sensor and transmitter include small parts that may pose a choking hazard.
The following warnings may result in the consequence of missing severe hypoglycemia (low
