10 Eversense XL CGM User Guide
1Eversense XL System Overview
A separate blood glucose monitoring system (not provided by Senseonics) is required for calibrating the CGM System,
and to make treatment decisions. When used properly, these components work together to help ensure you get
continuous glucose monitoring for the operating life of the sensor.
To ensure you receive continuous glucose readings and other information, follow these daily use tips:
Wear your smart transmitter all the time except when charging.
The smart transmitter is water-resistant to a depth of 1 metre (3.2 feet) for 30 minutes. Exposing the smart transmitter
to conditions beyond this will result in damage and void your warranty.
Make sure your smart transmitter has enough battery power at all times.
Perform two blood glucose meter calibration tests each day when prompted.
Pay attention to alerts and notifications you receive from your smart transmitter and mobile device.
Replace the adhesive patch on your smart transmitter daily.
You can remove the smart transmitter from the upper arm at any time, except during calibration. Remember that
no data are collected when the smart transmitter is not communicating with the sensor. When you place the smart
transmitter back on the sensor site, it will take up to 10 minutes for sensor communication to re-start and for
glucose readings to appear in the app.
When the smart transmitter and mobile device are not within range of each other, any data gathered by the smart
transmitter is stored and sent to the app when the mobile device and smart transmitter are back within range.
It is safe for you to wear your sensor and smart transmitter when you go through metal detectors at airports. While
flying, the smart transmitter performs similar to any other Bluetooth device. Be sure to follow the specific safety
guidelines mandated by the airline.

The system is indicated for use as an adjunctive device to complement, not replace, information obtained from
standard home blood glucose monitoring devices.
Contraindications
The sensor and smart transmitter are incompatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures. Patients
should not undergo an MRI procedure while the sensor is inserted or when wearing the smart transmitter. Should an
MRI be required the sensor must be removed before the procedure.
•The system is contraindicated in people for whom dexamethasone or dexamethasone acetate may be
contraindicated.
•Therapeutics products such as mannitol intravenous and irrigation solutions may increase blood mannitol
concentrations and cause falsely elevated readings of sensor glucose results.

2. Benets and Risks
This section describes the benets, expectations and risks associated with using the Eversense XL
CGM System.
Continuous glucose monitoring aids in the management of diabetes and glucose control, which can improve your
quality of life. Best results are achieved when you are fully informed about the risks and benefits, insertion procedure,
follow-up requirements, and self-care responsibilities. You should not have the sensor inserted if you cannot properly
operate the CGM System.
The CGM System measures glucose in interstitial fluid (ISF) between the body’s cells. Physiologic dierences between
ISF and blood from a fingerstick may result in dierences in glucose measurements. These dierences are especially
evident during times of rapid change in blood glucose (e.g., after eating, dosing insulin, or exercising). Glucose levels
in ISF lag behind glucose levels in blood by several minutes.
The sensor has a silicone ring that contains a small amount of an anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone acetate).
It has not been determined whether the risks associated with injectable dexamethasone acetate apply to the
dexamethasone acetate elution ring inside the sensor. The elution ring releases a small amount of dexamethasone
acetate when the sensor comes in contact with body fluids and serves to minimise the body’s inflammatory response to
the inserted sensor. Dexamethasone acetate in the ring may also cause other adverse events not previously seen with
the injectable form. For a listing of potentially adverse eects related to dexamethasone acetate, contact your doctor.
Unauthorised modifications of the equipment, improperly accessing information within it or “jailbreaking” your
system, and taking any other unauthorised actions may cause the CGM system to malfunction and may put you at
risk. Unauthorised modification of the equipment is not permitted and voids your warranty.

16 Eversense XL CGM User Guide

Risks and Side Eects
The glucose alerts and notifications will not audibly notify the user when the sound on your mobile device is turned
o. If the system cannot display a glucose value, it also cannot provide glucose alerts. If you are unable to feel the
vibration of the smart transmitter you may not notice the alerts. The system’s calculated glucose can be slightly
dierent from your blood glucose meter. This may cause an alert to activate at a dierent time than it would have if
the system’s values always matched the blood glucose meter values.
If you do not take frequent blood glucose measurements and miss an alert, you may not be aware of high or low
glucose levels. You may need medical attention in the event that you have high or low glucose and are unaware of it.
If you do not test your glucose with a blood glucose meter when you have symptoms of a low or high blood glucose
level OR when your symptoms are not consistent with the sensor glucose readings, you may miss a high or low
glucose event. Treatment decisions made without confirming with a blood glucose meter check may result in a high
or low glucose event, since blood glucose values can be slightly dierent than your sensor glucose values measured in
interstitial fluid.
The sensor is inserted by making a small incision and placing it under the skin. This process may cause infection, pain
or skin irritation. Additionally, the adhesive may cause a reaction or skin irritation.
Warnings
•If at any time you have symptoms of a low or high blood glucose level OR if your symptoms are not consistent
with the sensor glucose readings, you should test your glucose with a blood glucose meter.
•Always test your glucose with your blood glucose meter before making a treatment decision.
•If your smart transmitter is damaged or cracked, DO NOT use, as this could create an electrical safety hazard
or malfunction, and could result in electrical shock.
•Close contact with direct electromagnetic interference (EMI) may interfere with the smart transmitter’s ability
to send data to your mobile device. Move away from the source of EMI and check that your mobile device is
connected to your smart transmitter.

17
Eversense XL CGM User Guide
2
Warnings (continued)
•High doses of aspirin (over 2000 mg), such as for chronic treatment of inflammatory conditions
(e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), may falsely lower Sensor glucose readings.
•Until it has healed, always cover the insertion site with a sterile bandage before placing the smart transmitter
adhesive over the sensor. Failure to do so could result in infection at the insertion site.
•Please review this User Guide with your healthcare professional. For additional Eversense XL product questions
and troubleshooting issues, contact Roche Diabetes Care at 0800-701000 (UK) or 1800-709600 (ROI).
•Always calibrate the system using only a fingerstick blood sample. DO NOT use an alternative site (such as
forearm or palm) blood glucose reading to calibrate the system.
•DO NOT insert your infusion set within 10.16 cm (4 in) of the sensor site. If the insulin delivery site is within
10.16 cm (4 in) of the sensor site, it may interfere with sensor glucose readings and can cause inaccurate
glucose readings.
•Always follow your doctor’s instructions for care after the sensor insertion or removal. Contact your doctor if
any of the following events occur:
– You have pain, redness, or swelling at the incision site(s) later than 5 days after the sensor insertion or
removal.

18 Eversense XL CGM User Guide

Cautions
•DO NOT exchange smart transmitters with another person. Each smart transmitter can be linked to only one
sensor at a time.
•The following medical therapies or procedures may cause permanent damage to the sensor particularly if
used in close proximity to the device:
– Lithotripsy – The use of lithotripsy is not recommended for people who have an inserted sensor because
the eects are unknown.
– Diathermy – DO NOT use diathermy on people who have an inserted sensor. Energy from the diathermy can
transfer through the sensor and cause tissue damage in the insertion area.
– Electrocautery – The use of electrocautery near the inserted sensor may damage the device. DO NOT use
electrocautery near the sensor.
•DO NOT wear the smart transmitter during medical x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans. To avoid
interference with results, remove the smart transmitter before undergoing medical x-ray or CT scans. Make
sure your doctor knows about your smart transmitter.
•The sensor and smart transmitter should be linked the day of insertion. Failure to link the sensor and smart
transmitter could result in a delay in receiving glucose readings.
•Steroid use – It has not been determined whether the risks usually associated with injectable dexamethasone
acetate apply to the use of this dexamethasone acetate elution ring, a highly localized, controlled-release
device. The dexamethasone acetate ring could cause other adverse events not listed or previously seen.
•If the sensor or smart transmitter feels warm, remove the smart transmitter immediately and contact your
doctor for further advice. A warm sensor could mean there is an infection or a sensor malfunction.
•Remove the smart transmitter from your arm before charging the smart transmitter battery. Failure to remove
the smart transmitter while it is charging could result in electrical shock.
