Appendix B | Security and Air Travel The Dexcom G6® Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (G6) can be a great travel companion – you can go through metal detectors and hand-wanding and even keep your receiver on during your flight. B.1 Security Going through security often means you and your belongings go through a metal detector, x-ray machine, or even a body scanner. In this section, you’ll find out which are OK for your G6 components and which haven’t been tested and should be avoided.
PRECAUTION Going Through Security Check Point When wearing your G6, ask for hand-wanding or full-body pat-down and visual inspection instead of going through the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body scanner (also called a millimeter wave scanner) or putting any part of the G6 in the baggage x-ray machine. You can wear the G6 for the walk-through metal detector. If you do, use your meter for treatment decisions until you leave the security area.

Appendix F | Technical Information F.1 Device Performance Characteristics NOTE: We recommend that you review the information in this chapter with your healthcare professional to understand how well the Dexcom G6® Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (G6) performs. The Dexcom G6 (G6) uses a glucose sensor to continuously measure and monitor your glucose levels. Once the sensor code is entered, the G6 reports glucose readings up to every 5 minutes.
Depending on the participant’s age, they participated in either 1, 2 or 3 clinic sessions of varying duration. • Adult subjects: two (2) or three (3) 12-hour clinic sessions • Pediatric subjects 13-17 years of age: one (1) 12-hour clinic session • Pediatric subjects 6-12 years of age: one (1) 6-hour clinic session • Pediatric subjects 2-5 years of age: one (1) 4-hour clinic session (compared to fingerstick blood glucose meter measurements only).
wear locations (Tables 1-B to 1-E) and categorized within YSI glucose ranges (Tables 1-F to 1-I). When you see a CGM reading on your receiver or mobile application, these tables show you how likely that reading matches your blood glucose level (measured by YSI in the study). These tables include overall pooled data from both G6 studies. For example, the total number of data pairs considered in the analysis was 25,101. Of these, 91.

Agreement When CGM Reads “LOW” or “HIGH” The G6 reports glucose readings between 40 and 400 mg/dL. When the G6 determines the glucose reading is below 40 mg/dL, it displays “LOW” in the Receiver or Mobile Application Status Box. When the G6 determines that the glucose level is above 400 mg/dL, it displays “HIGH” in the Receiver or Mobile Application Status Box.
Concurrence of G6 and Laboratory Reference Tables 3-A to 3-D categorize concurrence by CGM reading and YSI values. Tables 3-A and 3-B describe, (row percent), for each range of CGM glucose readings, what percentage of paired YSI values was in the same glucose range (shaded) or in glucose ranges above and below the paired CGM readings. For example, Table 3-A shows that for adults, when CGM readings are within 81 to 120 mg/dL, you can expect your blood glucose levels are within 81 to 120 mg/dL 70 % of time.
