Lithotripsy (Therapeutic Ultrasound) – The use of lithotripsy is not recommended for people who have an inserted sensor because the effects are unknown. DO NOT use lithotripsy near the sensor.
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.

DO NOT insert your infusion set within 4 inches (10.16 cm) of the sensor site. If the insulin delivery site is within 4 inches (10.16 cm) of the sensor site, it may interfere with sensor glucose readings and can cause inaccurate glucose readings.
There is a 3-hour delay in glucose data going from your Eversense® CGM into Apple Health. The Eversense® CGM App on your smart phone should be your primary device for monitoring your glucose levels and for making treatment decisions in real time.
X-ray, CT Scan:
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 health care professional knows about your smart transmitter.

The Eversense® 365 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to one year in people (18 years and older) with diabetes. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are required for calibration one time a week after day 13, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense 365 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
