Incision care

Incision area

• Do not swim or soak in a tub for five days
• Avoid strenuous activities that may pull at the incision or cause a lot of sweating around the insertion area while the incision heals
• Replace Tegaderm™ if it becomes saturated; otherwise, leave it on over the Steri-Strips™
• Leave the Steri-Strips™ on until they fall off
• Trim the edges of the Steri-Strips™ if they start to curl; do not remove them when doing so
• Place the smart transmitter over the Tegaderm™ after the first day

Notify your doctor if:

• Steri-Strips™ come off before incision is fully closed
• You develop a fever, or experience pain, redness, swelling, warmth or drainage at the incision site
• During sensor wear, skin over the sensor looks like it is thinning, depressed, or changing color
• You experience a significant change in health or well-being that you believe is related to your incision site

Warm-up Phase and app status bar

• The status bar in the Eversense app will show “ Warm Up Phase ” immediately after linking the smart transmitter with the newly inserted sensor
  

• It is not necessary to wear smart transmitter on your arm during the Warm-up Phase. After moving the smart transmitter off of the arm, the status bar will change to “No Sensor Detected”. When the smart transmitter is powered off, “No Transmitter Connected” will show on the status bar
  *Transmitter powered on but not over the sensor**

Transmitter powered off
**
*** The smart transmitter should remain on when programming your App in order to have access to all app settings and features

• A “No Sensor Detected” pop-up alert may appear
• Simply tap Not Now to clear the alert
  

The Main Menu

Personalized settings

A. Set Glucose Targets and Glucose Alerts

B. Set how often Alerts Repeat (Snooze)

Your alerts sounds are also customizable. See User Guide Section 8.
C. Set Daily Calibration Reminders

The system will accept a calibration up to 2 hours before your set reminder time.

Charge smart transmitter

• Attach the USB cable to the USB adapter and charging cradle as shown
• Line up the 4 gold pins
• Position the smart transmitter in the cradle
• Push to snap smart transmitter into place
• Charge until LED turns solid green (~15 min)
  

Attach smart transmitter to adhesive

• Peel off paper backing with the Eversense Smart Transmitter outline on it
• Align the smart transmitter over the sticky side (center) of patch and press firmly to secure
• Remove the larger clear backing
  

Place smart transmitter over sensor

• Open the placement guide in the app

• Hold the smart transmitter with adhesive with “wings back” as shown

• Start by gently placing your smart transmitter on the top half of your bandage, using any visible smart transmitter corner marks as a guide

• Wait for the signal strength bars to appear – this may take several seconds

• Position the smart transmitter where the signal strength shows 2-3 bars (good to excellent)

• If you need to reposition the smart transmitter with adhesive, you can carefully lift it off the bandage to do so

• Remove the smaller adhesive backing, and smooth out the adhesive patch. Close the placement guide in the app

Calibrate system

• Within 10 minutes, you will receive a calibration prompt in the app
• Do a fingerstick blood glucose check; Tap Calibrate and enter the glucose value into the app
• You will receive three more calibration prompts during Initialization, each 2 hours after the previous completed calibration. You can complete all 4 calibrations in as quickly as 6 hours. All 4 calibrations must be completed within 36 hours (record schedule on the right)
• Choose calibration times when blood glucose is likely to be stable

Calibration Times for Initialization

Warm-Up Phase ends: ____

1 ____AM/PM

2 ____AM/PM*

Gradually falling or rising glucose levels at a rate between 0.0 mg/dL and 1.0 mg/dL per minute.

Moderately falling or rising glucose levels at a rate between 1.0 mg/dL and 2.0 mg/dL per minute.

Very rapidly falling or rising glucose levels at a rate more than 2.0 mg/dL per minute.

Tips for Success

• Establish a daily routine for charging your smart transmitter, changing your adhesive patch, and calibrating
• Use both a mirror and the placement guide when positioning your smart transmitter
• Blood glucose may not always match sensor glucose. Always do a fingerstick blood glucose check before treatment decisions and if you have symptoms of low or high blood glucose
• If you experience an Ambient Light alert (more common in early wear), try moving away from direct light, covering the smart transmitter with darker clothing, or placing the smart transmitter slightly higher on the arm over the sensor
• Contact your doctor if you have a medical question or concerns about your diabetes treatment plan
• Contact Eversense Customer Care if you have technical questions about the Eversense CGM System
