Dexcom G6 CGM (G6) Overview

1

The G6 sends G6 sensor glucose
readings to your display device.
What It Does
The receiver is a dedicated medical device. Your smart
device is not, even though you can run the G6 app
on it. Your smart device is not a dedicated medical device
because the app could miss an alarm/alert just because it is
on a smart device—for example, due tosmart device
settings, smart device or app shutting off, low battery, etc.
Use tabs below to set up the app,
receiver, or both
Want to set up both? Pick one to set up first and turn to
that tab. The last step shows you how to set up the second
display device. Do not use both tabs.
For other ways to learn how to set up your G6:
