How the G6 Components Work Together
1. Sensor
The Dexcom G6 sensor is inserted under the skin and measures glucose in interstitial fluid.
Sensor replacement: approximately every 10 days.
2. Transmitter – This Product
The transmitter snaps into the sensor housing and wirelessly sends glucose readings to the compatible display device.
Transmitter replacement: approximately every 3 months.
3. Display Device
Glucose information can be viewed using:
Compatible smart device / Dexcom G6 app
Dexcom G6 Receiver
Dexcom's current prescribing guidance lists all three G6 components as separate orderable items.
Compatibility Note
This transmitter is designed specifically for the:
Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
Do not substitute it for:
Dexcom G7 sensor/transmitter
Dexcom G7 15 Day
Stelo glucose biosensor
other CGM platforms
The G7 family incorporates its transmitter into the sensor itself, whereas Dexcom G6 uses this separate reusable transmitter component.
Warnings
| Patient Use | System Accuracy | Device & Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Prescription-use CGM component | Follow glucose trends and alerts appropriately | Use only with compatible Dexcom G6 components |
| Follow Dexcom G6 instructions | Use a blood glucose meter if readings do not match symptoms | Pair transmitter correctly before use |
| Do not rely on readings inconsistent with symptoms | Seek medical assistance for severe glucose events | Do not use beyond battery life |
| Confirm proper sensor/transmitter connection | Follow healthcare-provider treatment guidance | Do not use damaged equipment |
| Use only for intended G6 system application | Review high/low alerts appropriately | Replace transmitter when prompted |
| Follow current Dexcom safety information | Incorrect use may result in missed glucose events | Verify expiration/dating before shipment |
Dexcom warns that failure to follow system instructions, contraindications, warnings, and precautions could result in missing severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia or making inappropriate treatment decisions.
