Mannitol or sorbitol, when administered intravenously, or as a component of an irrigation solution or peritoneal dialysis solution, may increase blood mannitol or sorbitol concentrations and cause falsely elevated readings of your sensor glucose results. Sorbitol is used in some artificial sweeteners, and concentration levels from typical dietary intake do not impact sensor glucose results.
Eversense® E3 Sensor is manufactured by Senseonics across the US and Europe.
Eversense® E3 Transmitter is manufactured by Senseonics in Minnesota, USA.
Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the Eversense® E3 Sensor is MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions:
- Static magnetic field of 1.5T or 3.0T
- Maximum spatial field gradient of 2000 gauss/cm (20 T/m).
- Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4 W/kg (First Level Controlled Operating Mode).
Under the scan conditions defined above, non-clinical testing results indicate the Eversense Sensor is expected to produce a maximum temperature rise of less than 5.4 °C after 15 minutes of continuous scanning.
In non-clinical testing, the image artifact caused by the device extends approximately 2.83 inches (72 mm) from the Eversense® E3 Sensor when imaged with a gradient echo pulse sequence and a 3T MR system.
The Eversense Smart Transmitter is MR Unsafe and MUST BE REMOVED before undergoing an MRI procedure. Before you undergo an MRI procedure, tell the MRI staff that you have an Eversense Sensor and Smart Transmitter.
You should avoid massage therapy near the inserted sensor site. Massage therapy near the sensor site could cause discomfort or skin irritation.

The Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to 180 days in persons with diabetes age 18 and older. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration primarily one time a day after day 21, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense E3 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
The Eversense® 365 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to one year in people (18 years and older) with diabetes. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are required for calibration one time a week after day 13, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense 365 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
