what to prescribe
Dexcom G6 Components
Patients or caregivers can insert the sensor with the auto-applicator, then snap in the transmitter. Once the sensor code is entered, the transmitter paired, and everything has warmed up, they will be able to view glucose data from the transmitter via a patient's selected display device. The auto-applicator comes pre-loaded with a sensor.
Dexcom G6 Auto-applicator
Provides simple sensor insertion at the push of a button. A patient can apply the sensor on their own by following the instructions for use.
Dexcom G6 Sensor
Monitors interstitial glucose levels through a small wire inserted just underneath the skin, sending a signal to the transmitter (10-day lifespan).
Dexcom G6 Transmitter
Fastened on top of the sensor; sends data wirelessly to the wearer's compatible display device* (3-month lifespan).
PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS
The activation card provides guidance for patients to start the 10-day digital journey; it complements the Dexcom G6 set-up guide and instructions for use.
