Welcome to the Commander FLEX
System
What is the Commander FLEX?
Commander FLEX is a home monitoring tool. It sends important
health information to your health care team. This allows your
doctor and other health care team members to take action before
your symptoms get worse. Your health care team can make
changes to your care plan to help you stay healthy.
How do you participate?
Your health care team has provided Commander FLEX for you to
use at home. You should use the Commander FLEX each day.
You may use the Commander FLEX to measure your weight,
peak flow, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and/or blood
glucose levels. You should do this as instructed by your health
care team. This data will be sent to your health care team each
day. The Commander FLEX uses its own cellular connection or
toll free numbers to send data so there will be no charge to you.
What are the benefits of using Commander FLEX?
 Identifies symptoms early and allows your health care team to
take action
 Keeps you “in touch” with your doctor and his or her team
 Teaches you about your health condition
Keep this Manual near your Commander FLEX for a quick
reference.
