There are three steps to ensure proper positioning:
- When using the adhesive patch to secure the smart transmitter, make sure the power button and the LED are lined up in parallel with the sensor.
- Use the PLACEMENT GUIDE screen on the app to confirm connection between the sensor and the transmitter.
- Tap Placement Guide.
- Position the smart transmitter over the sensor so that a Good or Excellent connection is confirmed. Allow time for the Placement Guide to refresh – about 0.5 seconds.
For more details on the signal strength of the transmitter and sensor, tap “Show More Details”.
This feature is to be used for troubleshooting and not intended as first course of action for the user.
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 system is contraindicated in people for whom dexamethasone or dexamethasone acetate may be contraindicated.
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

To view the Eversense® CGM user’s Event Log, swipe the screen to the left from the Alert History.
The Event Log lists the 20 most recent events logged by the CGM user. The Event Log shows information entered by the Eversense® CGM user such as calibrations, meals, exercise, blood glucose values, insulin levels, health, and exercise. If the user has not entered any Events this log will be empty.
The Eversense® E3 Sensor has a Warm-Up Phase, which is the period the sensor requires to adjust after the sensor has been inserted and before calibrations. The Warm-Up Phase lasts for 24 hours after the sensor is linked. Once the 24 hour period has passed, the Eversense® App will prompt the user to perform a calibration.

The Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to 180 days in persons with diabetes age 18 and older. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration primarily one time a day after day 21, 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 E3 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
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.
