FAQS
General Questions
As the activity pathway of blood glucose has its own particularity, what is monitored by a CGM system is IFG(intertissue fluid glucose), which has a time difference from CBG (Glucose capillaries)monitored by a fingertip glucose meter. This difference may not be significant when blood glucose is stable but will be obvious when blood glucose elevates or goes down. Therefore, please do not compare the two values when there is significant blood glucose fluctuation.
You can send a screenshot of your daily blood glucose data to our after-sales support email: support@sibiocins.com. Our professional customer service consultant will help you assess it and provide you with a scientific monitoring scheme.
If you have a medical appointment that includes using strong magnetic or electromagnetic radiation, such as an X-ray, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), or CT (Computed Tomography) scan, we recommend you remove the CGM sensor that you are wearing before the scan, and apply a new SBIONICS sensor after the scan.
This product is used for continuous or periodic monitoring of intertissue fluid glucose levels in adult patients with diabetes (≥18 years).
Continuous glucose values can be provided and stored for the user to track trends in glucose concentration changes.
The glucose sensor is for single user use only, does not require calibration by the user, and can be used for up to 14 days.
The product measurements are not intended to be used as a basis for deciding and adjusting treatment regimens for diabetic patients. The product should not be integrated with insulin pump systems or used in conjunction with software to guide insulin intake dosing. For details of contraindications or precautions, please refer to the instruction manual. Please read the product instructions carefully or purchase and use under the guidance of medical personnel.
Due to individual differences, fingertip blood verification is still required when glucose levels change rapidly and intertissue fluid glucose does not accurately reflect blood glucose levels; or when the system indicates hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia, or when the user's symptoms do not match the system readings.
This product must be removed prior to performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
