Percutaneous interstitial-fluid glucose monitoring system, electrochemical

Your patient shouldn’t wear CGM (sensor, transmitter, or smart device) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan, or high-frequency electrical heat (diathermy) treatment.

The G6 Pro hasn’t been tested in those situations. The magnetic fields and heat could damage the components of the G6 Pro, which may cause it to display inaccurate G6 Pro sensor glucose readings (G6 Pro readings) or may prevent alerts. Without G6 Pro readings, inaccurate G6 Pro readings or without alarm/alert notifications, patient might miss
a severe low or high glucose event.
