Dexcom G5 Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring System - P120005/S041

The Dexcom G5 Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom G5) consists of an externally-worn glucose sensor that continuously measures glucose levels and displays the values. In addition to reporting glucose values every 5 minutes, the system reports trending information in real-time for up to seven days (the life of each sensor).

This device uses a small flexible metal wire (sensor) that is inserted just below the skin where it generates a small electrical signal in response to the amount of sugar that is present (interstitial glucose).

The Dexcom G5 is used for the management of diabetes in persons age 2 years and older. It is designed to replace fingerstick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions.
