The Eversense® E3 Sensor has a Warm-Up Phase, which is the period the sensor requires to adjust after the sensor has been inserted and before calibrations. The Warm-Up Phase lasts for 24 hours after the sensor is linked. Once the 24 hour period has passed, the Eversense® App will prompt the user to perform a calibration.

The Eversense® E3 Sensor can be used for up to 180 days before removal.
While the Eversense® E3 Sensor is intended to be removed at end of sensor life, it has undergone biocompatibility testing and meets the requirements of a permanent implant, and therefore it should not cause a biocompatibility concern if left in a patient. However, the sensor will not provide data beyond 180 days and you will need to make arrangements to have it removed.
It would be best not to shave the insertion site immediately before inserting the Sensor, as the skin may become sensitive or slightly irritated from shaving. Your health care professional will determine if hair removal is necessary prior to insertion.
