A blood glucose meter is required for calibrating the CGM System, and to make treatment decisions under certain conditions. See Understanding Treatment Decisions with CGM in the Eversense® E3 CGM User Guide for more information.
Calibration is used to ensure the accuracy of the CGM system.
Pay close attention to your glucose values, symptoms, and trends. If your symptoms are different than the sensor glucose values or what the alert indicates, confirm your glucose value with a blood glucose meter test before making a treatment decision.
Eversense E3 has demonstrated excellent accuracy when you need it most - we’ve demonstrated 99% of high (180 mg/dL) and 94% of low (70 mg/dL) glucose events1 detected correctly and essentially no compression lows.2

The sensor has a silicone ring that contains a small amount of an anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone acetate). For more information regarding dexamethasone acetate please contact your health care professional.
If you are concerned that you may be experiencing an adverse effect, contact your health care professional.
This should only be done if directly instructed by customer care. The system will return to initialization phase after re-linking is complete.
The Eversense® E3 Smart Transmitter is a removable transmitter worn externally over the sensor. It wirelessly powers the sensor and collects glucose data via Near-Field Communication (NFC). It wirelessly sends glucose data (via Bluetooth) to the Eversense® Mobile App. It has a rechargeable battery and is warranted for one year.
The Bluetooth® communication distance between app and smart transmitter is up to 25 feet (7.6 meters).
Wireless communication to the app will not function well when communicating through water. The range will decrease if you are on a waterbed, in a bath, pool, etc. The communication range may also be reduced in certain environments, especially those with multiple electronic devices nearby.

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.
