Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit

The Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit is an important component of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system. This device helps people with diabetes monitor and manage their blood sugar levels more consistently. The Dexcom G6 CGM kit includes a transmitter, which works with a sensor to continuously measure interstitial glucose.

Unlike traditional fingerstick testing, which provides a single reading, the Dexcom G6 CGM provides real-time glucose readings every 5 minutes, trends, and alerts, helping users make more informed decisions about diet, exercise, and insulin therapy. This page refers to the Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit only, not a starter kit. It is important to consult a doctor before you buy a Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit online.

What Is a Dexcom G6 Transmitter Used For?

The Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit is used to send glucose data from a Dexcom sensor to a display device (smartphone or dedicated receiver). This allows you to see real-time glucose results and trends with minimal interruption.

Who Can Use a Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit?

The Dexcom G6 system, which includes the transmitter, is FDA-cleared for people aged 2 years and older with:

• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes

• When used as directed, the Dexcom G6 Transmitter provides real-time glucose readings without routine fingerstick calibration.
• This advanced diabetes management technology helps users track glucose trends and patterns to support day-to-day diabetes management.
• The transmitter kit also sends alerts for high and low glucose levels through your paired device when configured.
• The G6 Transmitter Kit has a 3-month lifespan, reducing replacement frequency.

If you are planning to order the Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit online for glucose monitoring, you are making the right choice. Here are some of the key features that make it stand out:

• Wireless Connectivity: Works with compatible smartphones (iOS or Android), smartwatches, or Dexcom receivers.
• Alerts & Notifications: Customizable alarms for high and low glucose levels.
• Data Sharing: You can share your glucose data with family, caregivers, or your healthcare provider through the Dexcom Share feature.

The Dexcom G6 and G7 are both continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems from Dexcom, but the main difference lies in their transmitter designs and use.

The package includes only a Dexcom G6 Transmitter. It does not include the sensor, receiver, or smartphone. Each must be obtained separately and used together as part of the full CGM system. Some starter kits also include sensors; always check the product description.

The transmitter must be used with a Dexcom G6 sensor and a compatible display device. If you are using the Dexcom G6 Transmitter for the first time, follow these steps for correct use:

Before you start:

• Wash your hands and choose a clean, well-lit area.
• Read the Dexcom G6 instruction manual provided with your device.

Insert the Dexcom G6 sensor:

• Choose an approved sensor placement site:
  • For adults, it is the abdomen or the back of the upper arm.
  • For children, the abdomen or upper buttocks.
• Clean the area with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
• Attach the sensor to your body using the automatic applicator by following the instructions or as directed by your doctor.

Attach the transmitter:

• Place the transmitter into the plastic transmitter holder on the sensor.
• Press down firmly until both sides click into place.
• The transmitter should sit flat and feel secure.

Pair the transmitter with your device:

• Open the Dexcom G6 app on your smartphone or turn on your Dexcom receiver.
• Follow the steps to enter or scan the transmitter serial number.
• Keep your phone or receiver nearby during pairing.
• Confirm that Bluetooth is turned on if using a smartphone.

Post-setup:

• Allow the system to complete its startup and warm-up period.
• Use the paired device to view glucose results, trends, and alerts.
• If glucose trends do not match how you feel, confirm with a traditional blood glucose meter before making treatment decisions.

Although the Dexcom G6 Transmitter Kit is generally easy to use, incorrect use may increase the risk of inaccurate readings. Make sure to follow these safety points:

• Do not rely solely on CGM data if symptoms do not match. Consult your doctor or check your blood glucose with a fingerstick meter before making treatment decisions.
• Discontinue use and tell your provider if the transmitter fails to communicate properly.
• The transmitter is not designed to diagnose diabetes. It is part of a monitoring system for individuals who have already been diagnosed.
• Use the transmitter only with compatible Dexcom G6 sensors and devices, as instructed.

To keep your transmitter functioning properly:

• Store it in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or humidity.
• Keep out of reach and sight of children.
