To show progression of the Startup period, a
shaded box will appear on CGM Trend screens
and gradually diminish over the 2 hours. No
CGM data is displayed during the Startup period.
At the end of the 2-hour Startup period, calibrate your CGM by taking 2 fingerstick tests with
your BG meter. BG values must be taken within 5 minutes of each other and then immediately
entered in your pump. You will also need to calibrate daily with 1 fingerstick BG value
approximately every 12 hours. Calibration values can be entered sooner or more often than
every 12 hours if desired.
To Calibrate
a.
After the 2-hour Startup, you will be prompted to enter 2 separate
fingerstick BG values in your pump. Press to confirm Warning.
b.
Wash hands and perform fingerstick test with your BG meter.

Insulin Pump
• The Dexcom G4 CGM which includes:
- The Dexcom G4 Transmitter
- The Dexcom G4 Sensor and Applicator
You can set your pump to notify you when your CGM readings become too high or low (High/
Low Alerts), or are rising or falling too quickly (Rise Rate/Fall Rate Alerts). You can also set your
pump to let you know when your Transmitter is not within RF range of your pump (Out of Range
Alert). Alerts can be enabled/disabled and set to default or customized levels. Customized
levels should be based on your healthcare professional’s recommendations and your personal
preferences. Some Alerts (High/Low and Out of Range Alerts) also let you set a “snooze”
period to re-alert you after a desired amount of time.

End Sensor Session
The Sensor automatically shuts off after 7 days. Your pump will alert you 6 hours, 2 hours and
30 minutes before this happens. A final CGM Warning screen will appear when your Sensor
session has ended.
Press to confirm your Sensor session has ended.
You can also stop your Sensor session at any time
by choosing
Start/Stop
from
CGM Menu
.
To Remove the Sensor Pod and Transmitter
Loosen adhesive and peel Sensor Pod/Transmitter from body.
Place Sensor Pod/Transmitter on hard surface. Insert jagged
edges of Safety Lock (from Sensor Applicator) so they “hug”
the wide end of the Transmitter in the Sensor Pod.
Press Safety Lock down until you cannot press anymore
and then pull up. The Transmitter will pop out of the
Sensor Pod.
NOTE:
If you did not keep the Safety Lock, you can use
your fingers to spread out the back tabs of the Sensor Pod.
The Transmitter will then pop out.
Keep Transmitter for next Sensor session.
Trend Arrows
Trend arrows can be used along with trend graphs to assess which direction your glucose levels
are headed and how rapidly they are changing. You should not dose insulin based on trend
arrow information.
Trend Arrows and CGM glucose readings on CGM Data/Trend screens are colour coded.
See explanation below:
Rapidly rising:
Your CGM glucose readings are rising more than 0.17 mmol/L
each minute.
Rising:
Your CGM glucose readings are rising 0.11–0.17 mmol/L each minute.
Slowly rising:
Your CGM glucose readings are rising 0.06–0.11 mmol/L each
minute.
Constant:
Your CGM glucose readings are steady (not increasing/decreasing
more than 0.06 mmol/L each minute).
Slowly falling:
Your CGM glucose readings are falling 0.06–0.11 mmol/L
each minute.
Falling:
Your CGM glucose readings are falling 0.11–0.17 mmol/L each minute.
Rapidly falling:
Your CGM glucose readings are falling more than 0.17 mmol/L
each minute.
No
arrow(s)
No Rate of Change Information:
The CGM cannot always calculate how fast your
CGM glucose readings are rising or falling.
Red arrows
or data points mean your most recent CGM reading was at or above the
High (Glucose) Alert limit set in the pump.
Green arrows
or data points mean your most recent CGM reading was between the
High and Low (Glucose) Alert limit set in the pump.
Blue a

(amount displayed only if Insulin on Board
feature is activated on the pump)
Before starting this step, you should have a Sensor, Sensor Applicator, the Transmitter, and
alcohol wipes on hand.
To Insert the Sensor
a.
Clean the placement site with alcohol. Let dry. The placement site should be on your belly,
and out of the way of waistband or other areas where rubbing can occur. It should be at
least 7.6 centimeters (3 inches) away from insulin pump infusion site.
b
. Remove adhesive backing from bottom of Sensor Pod.
c.
Place Sensor horizontally, NOT vertically. Press your fingers firmly around adhesive to
secure.
d.
Remove Safety Lock by pulling straight out (follow arrows in picture below). Save Safety
Lock.
e.
Using your thumb and finger, it may help to pinch up on your skin at base of the Sensor Pod
(use non-dominant hand).
f.
With dominant hand, place 2 fingers above collar (see picture below). Put your thumb on
plunger and push down completely. You should hear 2 “clicks”.
g.
Using your thumb as a base, place your 2 fingers below the
collar and pull up completely. You should hear 2 “clicks”.
h.
Make sure the Transmitter Latch is flush against the skin.
While still holding the Applicator Barrel, use your other
hand to squeeze the ribbed Release Tabs on sides of the
Sensor Pod. Rock the Applicator Barrel forward and lift up
and away from your body.
