Description
The LinX CGM is a continuous glucose monitoring system designed for individuals with diabetes aged 18 and older. It provides real-time glucose readings every minute, transmitting the data via Bluetooth to a compatible smartphone app. This system measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid through a small, discreet sensor worn on the body. It is intended to help manage diabetes by tracking glucose trends and patterns, and aiding in the detection of high and low glucose episodes.
Real-Time Glucose Monitoring: The sensor delivers glucose readings every minute to a smartphone app, allowing for constant tracking. Discreet and Compact Design: The sensor is one of the smallest available, designed to be lightweight and blend in with your daily routine. Extended Sensor Life: Each sensor can be worn for up to 15 days, providing prolonged monitoring before needing replacement. Water-Resistant: The sensor has an IP68 water-resistance rating, allowing it to be worn while showering, swimming, or exercising. Customizable Alerts: The companion app allows users to set personalized alerts for high and low glucose levels. Data Sharing: Glucose data and trends can be shared with healthcare providers or family members directly from the app for better management support. Simple Application: The sensor features a one-step applicator for a straightforward and quick setup process.

Safety Information/Precaution
It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional on how to use the sensor information to manage diabetes. The most common side effects may include skin redness or ulceration at the insertion site. Readings from interstitial fluid can differ from capillary blood glucose, especially during rapid changes in blood sugar after meals, insulin, or exercise. Remove the sensor before undergoing medical procedures involving strong magnetic or electromagnetic radiation, such as an MRI or CT scan. The sensor applicator is sterile if the package is unopened and undamaged. Do not freeze the sensor or use it after the expiration date. Calibration is generally not required but should not be done within the first 6 hours of sensor use if you choose to do so. Avoid calibration when glucose levels are rapidly changing.
