12Eversense CGM User Guide22. Benets and RisksThis section describes the benets, expectations and risks associated with using the Eversense CGM System.Continuous glucose monitoring aids in the management of diabetes and glucose control, which can improve your quality of life. Best results are achieved when you are fully informed about the risks and benefits, insertion procedure, follow-up requirements, and self-care responsibilities. You should not have the sensor inserted if you cannot properly operate the CGM System.The safety and eectiveness of the CGM System has not been established for the following:•  Children or adolescents (younger than 18 years of age).•  Women who are pregnant.The CGM System measures glucose in interstitial fluid (ISF) between the body’s cells. Physiologic dierences between ISF and blood from a fingerstick may result in dierences in glucose measurements. These dierences are especially evident during times of rapid change in blood glucose (e.g., after eating, dosing insulin, or exercising). Glucose levels in ISF lag behind glucose levels in blood by several minutes.The sensor has a silicone ring that contains a small amount of an anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone acetate). It has not been determined whether the risks associated with injectable dexamethasone acetate apply to the dexamethasone acetate elution ring inside the sensor. The elution ring releases a small amount of dexamethasone acetate when the sensor comes in contact with body fluids and serves to minimize the body’s inflammatory response to the inserted sensor. Dexamethasone acetate in the ring may also cause other adverse events not previously seen with the injectable form. For a listing of potentially adverse eects related to dexamethasone acetate, contact your physician.Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   12 7/22/16   11:39 AM
13Eversense CGM User Guide2Risks and Side EectsThe glucose alerts and notifications will not audibly notify the user when the sound on the mobile device is turned o. If the system cannot display a glucose value, it also cannot provide glucose alerts. If you are unable to feel the vibration of the smart transmitter you may not notice the alerts. The system’s calculated glucose can be slightly dierent from your blood glucose meter. This may cause an alert to activate at a dierent time than they would have if the system’s values always matched the blood glucose meter values. If you do not take frequent blood glucose measurements and miss an alert, you may not be aware of high or low glucose levels. You may need medical attention in the event that you have high or low glucose and are unaware of it.If you do not test your glucose with a blood glucose meter when you have symptoms of a low or high blood glucose level OR when your symptoms are not consistent with the sensor glucose readings, you may miss a high or low glucose event. Treatment decisions made without confirming with a blood glucose meter check may result in a high or low glucose event, since blood glucose values can be slightly dierent than your sensor glucose values measured in interstitial fluid.The sensor is inserted by making a small incision and placing it under the skin. This process may cause infection, pain or skin irritation. Additionally, the adhesive may cause a reaction or skin irritation.Warnings•   If at any time you have symptoms of a low or high blood glucose level OR if your symptoms are not consistent with the sensor glucose readings, you should test your glucose with a blood glucose meter.•   Always test your glucose with your blood glucose meter before making a treatment decision.•   If your smart transmitter is damaged or cracked, DO NOT use, as this could create an electrical safety hazard or malfunction, and could result in electrical shock.•   Close contact with direct EMI may interfere with the smart transmitter’s ability to send data to your mobile device. Move away from the source of EMI and check that your mobile device is connected to your smart transmitter.•   High doses of aspirin (over 2000 mg), such as for chronic treatment of inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), may falsely lower Sensor glucose readings.•   Until it has healed, always cover the insertion site with a sterile bandage before placing the smart transmitter adhesive over the sensor. Failure to do so could result in infection at the insertion site.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   13 7/22/16   11:39 AM
14Eversense CGM User Guide2Precautions•   DO NOT exchange smart transmitters with another person. Each smart transmitter can be linked to only one sensor at a time.•   The following medical therapies or procedures may cause permanent damage to the sensor particularly if used in close proximity to the device:– Lithotripsy – The use of lithotripsy is not recommended for people who have an inserted sensor because the eects are unknown.–  Diathermy – DO NOT use diathermy on people who have an inserted sensor. Energy from the diathermy can transfer through the sensor and cause tissue damage in the insertion area.– Electrocautery – The use of electrocautery near the inserted sensor may damage the device. DO NOT use electrocautery near the sensor.•   Steroid use – It has not been determined whether the risks usually associated with injectable dexamethasone acetate apply to the use of this dexamethasone acetate elution ring, a highly localized, controlled-release device. The dexamethasone acetate ring could cause other adverse events not listed or previously seen.•   DO NOT wear the smart transmitter during medical x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans. To avoid interference with results, remove the smart transmitter before undergoing medical x-ray or CT scans. Make sure your physician knows about your smart transmitter.•   The sensor and smart transmitter should be linked the day of insertion. Failure to link the sensor and smart transmitter could result in a delay in receiving glucose readings.Warnings (continued)•   Please review this User Guide with your health care provider. For additional Eversense product questions and troubleshooting issues,  contact Customer Support toll free in the US at 844-SENSE4U (844-736-7348). Outside the US, call your local distributor or visit  www.eversensediabetes.com to locate your local distributor.•  Always calibrate the system using only a fingerstick blood sample. DO NOT use an alternative site (such as forearm or palm) blood glucose reading to calibrate the system.•   DO NOT insert your infusion set within 10.16 cm (4 in) of the sensor site. If the insulin delivery site is within 10.16 cm (4 in) of the sensor site, it may interfere with sensor glucose readings and can cause inaccurate glucose readings.Always follow your physician’s instructions for care after the sensor insertion or removal. Contact your physician if any of the following events occur:•  You have pain, redness, or swelling at the incision site(s) later than 5 days after the sensor insertion or removal.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   14 7/22/16   11:39 AM
15Eversense CGM User Guide2Precautions (continued)•   If the sensor, insertion site or smart transmitter feels warm, remove the smart transmitter immediately and contact your physician for further advice. A warm sensor could mean there is an infection or a sensor malfunction. •   DO NOT immerse the smart transmitter in water or use the smart transmitter for any activity where it might be submerged in water. Immersing the smart transmitter in water may result in electrical shock. Always remove the smart transmitter before bathing or swimming. •   DO NOT switch back and forth between smart transmitters. Frequently pairing dierent smart transmitters with the sensor may result in inaccurate glucose measurements. •   Remove the smart transmitter from your arm before charging the smart transmitter battery. Failure to remove the smart transmitter while it is charging could result in electrical shock.•   DO NOT attempt to use the Eversense App while operating a motor vehicle.•   You should not receive massage therapy near the inserted sensor site. Massage therapy near the sensor site could cause discomfort or skin irritation.•   Use only the AC power adapter and USB cable provided with the smart transmitter when charging the smart transmitter battery. Use of another power supply could damage the smart transmitter, not allowing blood glucose readings to be received properly, and could result in voiding your warranty. •   If you have any concerns about allergic reaction to adhesive products containing silicone, contact your physician prior to use. Discard the Eversense adhesive patch after 24 hours of use.•  DO NOT change the unit of measurement unless you have discussed  it with your physician. Using the incorrect unit of measure could result in missing a high or low glucose event.•  Entering incorrect blood glucose values for calibration can result in inaccurate sensor glucose readings, which may result in you missing a high or low glucose event.•  Follow your health care provider’s recommendation for setting your glucose alerts. Incorrectly setting your glucose alerts can result in you missing a high or low glucose event.•  Pay attention to the glucose alerts the system provides. Failure to appropriately respond to an alert might result in you missing a high or low glucose event.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   15 7/22/16   11:39 AM

33Eversense CGM User Guide66. Calibrating the SystemThis section describes the calibration procedure and schedule of your Eversense CGM System.To ensure best performance, routine calibration is required using fingerstick readings from a blood glucose meter. Any commercially available meter may be used for calibration. Once your sensor has been inserted and linked to your smart transmitter, the system begins a 24-hour Warm-Up Phase. No calibration is required during this phase.There are two calibration phases:Initialization Phase – After the 24 Warm-Up Phase, you must complete 4 fingerstick calibration tests, spaced 2 to 12 hours apart.Daily Calibration Phase – After the Initialization Phase, you must complete 2 fingerstick calibration tests per day, spaced 10 to 14 hours apart.Routine calibration is critically important to ensuring the best performance of the Eversense CGM System. The following tips can help you improve your calibration measurements:Tips for ensuring good calibration:   Calibrate at times when glucose is NOT changing rapidly (e.g., before meals, before dosing insulin).   Calibrate when you know you will not be removing the smart transmitter during the next 15 minutes.   Wash your hands with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before taking a blood glucose meter reading. It is very important to have clean, dry hands when you test your blood glucose.    Always follow the blood glucose meter manufacturer’s instructions to get accurate blood glucose readings for calibration.   Be sure the code on test strip vial matches the code on your blood glucose meter (if coding is required).Calibration will NOT be complete or results NOT accepted if:   Blood glucose meter reading is less than 40 mg/dL.   Blood glucose meter reading is greater than 400 mg/dL.   Blood glucose meter reading was taken more than 10 minutes before entering the result in the Eversense App.   Sensor glucose reading is significantly dierent than the blood glucose meter reading.   Your smart transmitter was being charged during the 15 minutes after you entered your calibration value.Warning: DO NOT use alternative test sites such as your forearm for calibration.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   33 7/22/16   11:39 AM
34Eversense CGM User Guide6Calibration PhasesA. Initialization Phase (after 24-hour Warm-Up Phase)During this phase, 4 fingerstick blood glucose meter tests are required.•   The 4 calibration tests must be spaced 2 to 12 hours apart, and all 4tests must be completed within a 36 hour period.– 1st calibration = 24 hours after sensor insertion.– 2nd calibration = 2 to 12 hours after 1st successful calibration.– 3rd calibration = 2 to 12 hours after 2nd successful calibration.– 4th calibration = 2 to 12 hours after 3rd successful calibration.•   Glucose readings will start displaying in the app a few minutes after the 2nd calibration is successfully completed.•   When the last several blood glucose meter measurements are significantly dierent than the sensor glucose values.•   If the smart transmitter is out of battery power for more than 16 hours.•   When you receive a Sensor Check Alert.•   Six hours after you receive a Sensor Suspend Alert.B. Daily Calibration PhaseThe Daily Calibration Phase requires 2 blood glucose meter tests at the scheduled morning and evening calibration times. The first Daily Calibration Phase will begin after successful completion of the Initialization Phase.•  Y our system will automatically tell you when it is time to perform the twice-daily calibration test.•   Daily Calibration times must be spaced 10 to 14 hours apart.•   The system allows the calibration test to be taken up to 2 hours before the scheduled time. If you miss your scheduled calibration time, the system will prompt you hourly.•   The  CALIBRATE screen provides the next allowable calibration time.Note: If a Daily Calibration test is missed, no additional CGM readings will be displayed after 16 hours have elapsed since the last accepted calibration result. If a calibration test result is not entered within 24hours from the last accepted calibration, the system will re-enter the Initialization Phase.Re-Entering Initialization PhaseThe following will cause the system to re-enter Initialization Phase.•   Not completing a calibration test within a 12-hour period during the Initialization Phase.•   Not completing all 4 calibration tests within 36 hours during the Initialization Phase.•   Not completing 2 calibration tests within a 24-hour period during the Daily Calibration Phase (see C. Daily Calibration Phase).IMPORTANT: If your smart transmitter is not turned on and paired with the Eversense App and sensor, the system is not able to prompt you to calibrate.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   34 7/22/16   11:39 AM
35Eversense CGM User Guide6Warning: Always calibrate the system using only a fingerstick blood sample. DO NOT use an alternative site (such as forearm or palm) blood glucose reading to calibrate the system. How To CalibrateNotes•   For daily calibrations your CGM System will alert you when it is time to calibrate based on your scheduled calibration times.•   You can change your scheduled calibration times to better fit your schedule. Tap Menu > Settings > Daily Calibration.•   You can calibrate up to 2 hours before your scheduled calibration time. If you miss your scheduled calibration time, the system will prompt you hourly. •   You can enter additional calibration readings as long as each calibration is at least one hour apart. Tap Menu > Calibrate.•   If the time chosen is not within the calibration time frame, the CALIBRATE screen will indicate that it is not yet time for a calibration test.1.  When it is time for calibration, the app displays the CALIBRATE NOW screen.•   Tap  Calibrate.•   The  CALIBRATE screen appears.•   Tap  Not Now if you want to wait until later.2.  Obtain a fingerstick reading from your blood glucose meter.LBL-0202-01-001 Rev 1_Eversense User Guide_mgdL_R6.indd   35 7/22/16   11:39 AM
