The fluorophore will fluoresce when it binds to glucose. The amount of fluorescence directly corresponds to the amount of glucose in the interstitial fluid. If ambient light (like sunlight) is high enough to interfere with measuring that fluorescence, the system will display a High Ambient Light Alert. No glucose will be displayed until the condition is resolved by reducing the ambient light condition.

The system is indicated (approved) for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose measurements for diabetes treatment decisions.
Pay close attention to your glucose values, symptoms, and trends. If your symptoms are different than the sensor glucose values or what the alert indicates, confirm your glucose value with a blood glucose meter test before making a treatment decision.*

To make a treatment decision, the user should consider:

• Status bar information.
• Current sensor glucose value – the current glucose value should be displayed in black.
• Trend arrow – a trend arrow should be displayed.
• Recent trend information and alerts.

When to NOT make a treatment decision:

• No glucose value is displayed.
• No trend arrow is displayed.
• Your symptoms do not match the glucose information displayed.
• The current sensor glucose value is displayed in grey.
• The status bar is displayed in orange.
• You are taking medications of the tetracycline class.

   

* If you have any uncertainly in how or when to make treatment decisions, always speak with your healthcare professional.

Note: Always refer to the glucose information on your Eversense CGM App on your smartphone to make treatment decisions. Do not use a secondary display like the Apple Watch or Eversense NOW.

The Eversense^® E3 Sensor and adhesive patches contain silicone. If you have any concerns about allergic reaction to silicones, contact your health care professional prior to use.

The proximity of the Eversense^® E3 Sensor with medicated patches has not been studied. Please contact your health care professional for advisement.

Your Eversense Inserter will explain and perform the simple and quick steps to remove the sensor. You will be fully awake during the approximately 5-minute removal procedure.

Step 1: Site preparation – the sensor site will be cleaned, disinfected, then anesthetized using lidocaine.
Step 2: Incision – a small (~ 5-6mm) incision will be made at the sensor site.
Step 3: Sensor removal – the sensor will be removed and discarded.
Step 4: Site closure – once removed, the incision will be closed with Steri-Strips™ (sutures may be used depending on provider’s preference).

It is recommended to avoid areas with loose skin, scars, tattoos, nerves, or blood vessels that could be incised during the procedure.
