1.5 RECEIVER OVERVIEW

The receiver is the small hand-held device that looks like a cell phone.

It is about 4 inches long, 1.8 inches wide and 0.5 inches thick. When

used in real-time mode, it shows the sensor glucose readings, trend

graph, direction and rate of change arrow. When used in blinded mode,

it records, but does not display, sensor glucose readings throughout

the sensor session. Regardless of the mode used, the receiver alerts

the patient to any errors in the system, such as low battery. When

healthcare professionals use one receiver for multiple patients, the

receiver shield must be replaced between each patient’s use. The shield

is a thin, stretchy plastic that covers the receiver.

the micro USB port door open, and keep the square seal on the receiver

shield over the USB port.

NOTE: The receiver will store each patient’s data in its memory. For

multiple patient use, it is important that you erase the receiver data

memory after each patient use. This will ensure patient privacy with

subsequent users. See Chapter 10 for instructions on erasing patient

data from the receiver.

NOTE: In the Dexcom STUDIO software, select the “Prompt to reset

receiver after every download” option under the Options - Healthcare

Professional setting. This feature will remind the healthcare professional

to erase the receiver data after each use.
