To access additional reference materials, go to: www.eversensediabetes.com
Refer to the Eversense E3 CGM User Guide for more detailed information.

Indications for Use

The Eversense E3 CGM System is intended for continually measuring interstitial glucose levels in adults (18 years and older) with diabetes for up to 180 days. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose measurements for diabetes treatment decisions.
The system is intended to:

• Provide real-time glucose readings.
• Provide glucose trend information.
• Provide alerts for the detection and prediction of episodes of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) and high blood glucose (hyperglycemia).
• The system is a prescription device. Historical data from the system can be interpreted to aid in providing therapy adjustments. These adjustments should be based on patterns and trends seen over time.
• The system is intended for single patient use.

Contraindications

• The system is contraindicated in people for whom dexamethasone or dexamethasone acetate may be contraindicated.
• The smart transmitter is incompatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures. The smart transmitter is MR Unsafe and MUST BE REMOVED before undergoing an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) procedure. The sensor is MR Conditional. For more information on the sensor, see MRI Safety Information in the Eversense E3 CGM System User Guide.
• Mannitol or sorbitol, when administered intravenously, or as a component of an irrigation solution or peritoneal dialysis solution, may increase blood mannitol or sorbitol concentrations and cause falsely elevated readings of your sensor glucose results. Sorbitol is used in some artificial sweeteners, and concentration levels from typical dietary intake do not impact sensor glucose results.

Eversense E3 Smart Transmitter
Your rechargeable smart transmitter powers the sensor, calculates glucose readings, and stores and sends data to the app. It also provides on-body vibe alerts. The smart transmitter is secured to your skin with a disposable adhesive patch that is changed daily. Wearing the Smart Transmitter

• Replace the adhesive patch on your smart transmitter daily.
• The smart transmitter can be removed and reapplied to the skin at any time.

Linking the Sensor and Smart Transmitter

Once the sensor has been inserted by your health care provider and you have paired your transmitter and the app, your sensor needs to be linked to your smart transmitter. This will start the 24 hour Warm-Up Phase. There is no need to wear the smart transmitter during the Warm-Up Phase. To link the sensor, your mobile device must be connected to the internet and your transmitter must be charged, turned on, and paired with your mobile device. When you first link the sensor, with the Tegaderm™ bandage over the insertion site, the incision is likely in the center of the Tegaderm. This means the sensor is likely above the center of the Tegaderm. The first time you link the sensor, do not use an Eversense adhesive patch on the smart transmitter. When positioning the smart transmitter over the sensor, it should be slightly above the center of the Tegaderm patch.
Tip: Your sensor may not be precisely perpendicular to the incision. If you find it difficult to get a Good or Excellent signal in the Placement Guide, do not apply pressure. Do try slightly rotating the smart transmitter over the sensor. Wait about 1 second for the  Placement guide to refresh between each adjustment to the smart transmitter’s position over the sensor.
For details on linking the sensor, please review Linking the Sensor in the Eversense E3 CGM System User Guide.

Place Smart Transmitter over Sensor

1. Position the smart transmitter directly over the inserted sensor until the smart transmitter stops vibrating and the New Sensor Detected message appears on the app.
   • Open the placement guide in the app.
   • Using any visible smart transmitter corner marks as a guide, gently place your smart transmitter toward the top half of the bandage.
   • Watch the placement guide for signal strength – this may take several seconds.
   • To get the best signal, gently lift and move the smart transmitter as needed until the placement guide shows 2-3 bars (good to excellent).
   • Close the placement guide.
   Tip: It may be helpful to look in a mirror as you position your smart transmitter.

2. Tap Link Sensor and then Link Detected Sensor. DO NOT remove the smart transmitter from your insertion site until the third check mark is displayed.

3. When the smart transmitter and sensor are successfully linked, the LINKED SENSOR screen displays the sensor ID number.

Warm-Up Phase
The 24 hour Warm Up Phase begins once you have linked your sensor. Turn off the smart transmitter and do not place it on your arm until the 24-hour Warm Up Phase is over. The sensor requires 24 hours to stabilize in your body before the smart transmitter will calculate glucose values. If you decide to wear the smart transmitter over the sensor during this time, you will receive a message on the app indicating the Warm-Up Phase is in progress.
For more information, please review the section titled Calibrating the System in your Eversense E3 CGM System User Guide.

Daily Transmitter Wear and Calibrating the System

Once the Warm-Up Phase has ended, the Initialization Phase begins, and you’re ready to start wearing the smart transmitter. For the first few days, you’ll wear the smart transmitter over the Tegaderm™ bandage. Always start with a freshly charged smart transmitter.
Daily Transmitter Wear

1. Peel off the paper backing with the Eversense logo on it and place the smart transmitter in the center.
2. Remove the larger clear backing and position the smart transmitter directly over the sensor.

About 10 minutes after Initialization Phase begins, the system will display the Calibrate Now Notification.

• Do a fingerstick blood glucose check.
  Tap Calibrate on the notification and enter the glucose value into the app.

• You will receive three more calibration prompts during initialization, each 2 hours after the previously completed calibration. You can complete all 4 calibrations in as quickly as 6 hours. All 4 calibrations must be completed within 36 hours.
  You can record the times below as a reference.

Calibration times for initialization
Warm-Up Phase ends: ____

1 _____ AM/PM

2 _____ AM/PM*

3 _____ AM/PM

4 _____ AM/PM

*Glucose data available after 2nd calibration
Calibration Tips:

• Wash and dry hands thoroughly.
• Avoid calibrating when glucose may be changing rapidly (such as after meals, after taking insulin, or during/after exercise).
• Always use an actual blood glucose value, and enter calibration within 10 minutes.
• Keep smart transmitter in place over the sensor 5 minutes before and 15 minutes after each calibration.

Daily Use
Once the Initialization Phase has passed, the system requires two calibrations each day for the first 21 days. After 21 days, the system will prompt you for calibration either once or twice per day. Please see Calibrating the System in the Eversense E3 CGM System User Guide for more information.

• The current sensor glucose value is displayed in grey
• The status bar is displayed in orange
• You are taking medications of the tetracycline class

Note: Always refer to the glucose information on your Eversense CGM App on your smartphone to make treatment decisions. Do not utilize a secondary display like the Apple Watch or Eversense NOW.Use all available CGM information When to use your blood glucose meter
Do not make a treatment decision from your Eversense E3 CGM System if:

• Your symptoms do not match your sensor glucose value.
• No glucose data or trend arrow is displayed.
• “Use BG Meter for Treatment Decisions” appears on the status bar of your My Glucose home screen.
• You are currently taking a medication of the tetracycline class.

Symptoms don’t match the app. Additional resource: Eversense E3 CGM System User Guide: Using the App.
Your Diabetes Management
Understand your trend arrows – this can help you make more informed diabetes management decisions.

| Glucose is stable – changing less than 1 mg/dL per minute. A change of 0-30 “points” in 30 minutes.
---|---
| Glucose is rising moderately – between 1-2 mg/dL per minute. Up 30-60 “points” in 30 minutes.
| Glucose is falling moderately – between 1-2 mg/dL per minute. Down 30-60 “points” in 30 minutes.
| Glucose is rising rapidly – greater than 2 mg/dL per minute. Up 60 “points” or more in 30 minutes.
| Glucose is falling rapidly – greater than 2 mg/dL per minute. Down 60 “points” or more in 30 minutes.

Understanding Sensor Glucose versus Blood Glucose

• Your sensor measures glucose in the fluid in your skin tissue – called interstitial fluid. Your blood glucose (BG) meter measures glucose in the blood.
• The glucose level in interstitial fluid and blood are usually close. Calibrating your system properly is the best way to ensure they are as close as possible.
• Differences between glucose levels in the interstitial fluid and the blood are especially evident during times of rapid change in blood glucose (after eating, dosing insulin or exercising), and for some people, during the first several days after insertion due to inflammation that may result from the insertion procedure.
• Typically, the difference you see is the sensor glucose level “lags behind” the blood glucose level by several minutes.
