System Overview Dexcom SHARETM remote monitoring system lets one person, the Sharer, transfer Dexcom G4TM PLATINUM Continuous Glucose Monitoring information to another person, the Follower. Dexcom SHARE consists of the following components: Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System, Cradle, Bluetooth® wireless technology, the Sharer’s iPhone® or iPod® Touch, the Dexcom ShareTM app, the internet, the Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch and the Dexcom FollowTM app. When the Sharer’s receiver is in the powered Cradle, the Cradle transfers glucose information using Bluetooth to the Sharer’s iPhone or iPod touch. The information then is sent to the Dexcom SHARE Cloud using either Wi-Fi or a cellular data plan. Lastly, the glucose information is sent from the Dexcom SHARE Cloud to the Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch using Wi-Fi or the Follower’s cellular data plan. 15 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
System Components 16 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
Conditions That Affect Use Dexcom SHARE should not be used in a wet environment. Once Sharing is established, make sure the settings on the Cradle, Sharer’s iPhone or iPod touch and Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch are not altered. Make sure the Sharer’s iPhone or iPod touch and Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch have enough battery power to maintain Sharing. Dexcom recommends charging both iPhone or iPod touch when Sharing. Benefits Patients usually respond when their continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems alert them. However experts advise that an additional CGM alert to another person may be helpful in increasing the detection of low glucose or high glucose, especially at night. Dexcom SHARE enables this additional awareness, even when the Sharer and Follower are not in the same place. Dexcom SHARE may provide improved quality of life and greater peace of mind to patients, their caregivers and support team by allowing the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System alerts, alarms and trend graphs to be checked remotely. 17 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
Indications for Use The purpose of Dexcom SHARE is to notify another person, the Follower, of the patient’s Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Continuous Glucose Monitoring System sensor glucose information when the G4 PLATINUM Receiver is docked in the Dexcom SHARE Cradle. Dexcom SHARE provides secondary notification and does not replace real time continuous glucose monitoring (G4 PLATINUM System) or standard home blood glucose monitoring. Contraindications There are no contraindications for Dexcom SHARE. Important User Information Please review the indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, cautions and other important information in the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System User’s Guide. Dexcom SHARE is an optional accessory of the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System. If you do not have the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System User’s Guide you can view it on www.dexcom.com or call 1-888-738-3646 to request a copy. 18 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
Warnings Dexcom SHARE does not work alone. Dexcom SHARE does not replace the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System and requires the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Receiver to be docked in the Dexcom SHARE Cradle to communicate glucose information to the Follower. Dexcom SHARE is not compatible with any previous Dexcom® CGM System or any other CGM device. You cannot use Dexcom SHARE to make treatment decisions, such as how much insulin to take. Dexcom SHARE does not replace a blood glucose meter. Always use the values from a blood glucose meter for treatment decisions. Blood glucose values may differ from the sensor glucose information. Using the sensor glucose information for treatment decisions could lead to low or high blood glucose values. Precautions Do not use Dexcom SHARE as the main source of CGM glucose trend information. Use the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Receiver as the main device to track sensor glucose information, notifications and alarms. At times, the patient will be unable to share data using Dexcom SHARE, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in 19 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
the event of low or high blood glucose values. Do not rely solely on the Follower to alert the patient of low or high glucose events or other important information. At times, the Follower may not receive data, and the patient will not be notified of this fact. When using Dexcom SHARE, make sure the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Receiver is docked in the Cradle and fully connected. Make sure the charger cable is connected to the Cradle and plugged into the electrical outlet. If not, the patient will be unable to share data, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values. Set the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Receiver to a sound alert when the receiver is docked in the Dexcom SHARE Cradle. Do not set the receiver to “vibrate” profile. You may not notice the receiver vibrations when the receiver is docked in the Cradle, and you may miss a CGM alert. 20 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
You cannot use Dexcom SHARE unless there is a Bluetooth connection between the Cradle and the patient’s iPhone or iPod touch. The Bluetooth range can vary and depends on the distance and obstructions between the Cradle and the iPhone or iPod touch. If the patient’s iPhone or iPod touch does not have a connection or loses the connection, the patient will be unable to share data, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values. Do not use Dexcom SHARE unless both the patient’s and Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch have active internet connections in order to share data. If either the patient or the Follower do not have a connection, lose the connection, turn off the connection (“airplane mode”) or if either iPhone or iPod touch is in do not disturb mode, the patient will be unable to share data, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values. To check this, make sure that the Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch can receive text messages. Follow notifications and text messages work by a similar process on iPhone or iPod touch. Make sure the patient’s and Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch have charged batteries and are connected to electrical outlets. If not, the patient will be unable to share data, and the Follower might miss 21 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values. If the patient’s iPhone or iPod touch is powered off or restarted, make sure the Dexcom Share app is reopened after the iPhone or iPod touch is turned back on in order to resume sharing. If the Dexcom Share app is not reopened, the patient will be unable to share data, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values. Do not turn off system sounds in the Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch at any time that he or she wants Follow notifications to be heard. The iPhone or iPod touch settings override the Dexcom Follow app, and all notifications will be silent even if the Follower has selected a Dexcom Follow app notification sound. If the iPhone or iPod touch is on vibrate, the Dexcom Follow app notifications will only vibrate. Check the delay settings on the patient’s iPhone or iPod touch to make sure they are not too long. The Follower will not receive notifications until after the time period in the delay has passed, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values if the delay is too long. The patient should not choose to Not Share with the Follower at any time when he or she wants the Follower to get notifications. During the time the patient chooses to “Not Share”, the Follower will not receive notifications and might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high blood glucose values. 22 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
Check the Dexcom Follow app’s trend graph if the Follower’s iPhone or iPod touch has been off or if there is no data connection (e.g., internet/Wi-Fi or mobile data service/3G/4G/LTE is lost, connection is turned off in airplane mode, or iPhone or iPod touch is placed in do not disturb). When the iPhone or iPod touch is turned back on, the Follower will only receive the most recent notification and might miss helping the patient in the event of prior low or high blood glucose values. Sharers and Followers should check whether their cellular service carriers support voice and data at the same time (simultaneous voice and data). If their carriers do not support simultaneous voice and data, the Dexcom Share app may not be able to share glucose values and the Dexcom Follow app may not be able to receive notifications or glucose values during phone calls. Dexcom SHARE will resume sharing after the phone call has ended, and the Follower will receive any waiting notifications after the phone call has ended. Risks Dexcom SHARE is an optional accessory to the Dexcom G4TM PLATINUM Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. The main risks involved with using Dexcom SHARE are based on misunderstanding its purpose. Remember that Dexcom SHARE is a secondary notification system, not a real-time remote monitoring system. With Dexcom SHARE, there are 3 distinct parts of glucose monitoring: 1. Blood glucose meter - use this to make any treatment decisions. 2. Dexcom G4 PLATINUM CGM System - use the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System to complement, but not replace, information obtained from the blood glucose meter. It detects glucose 23 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
trends and tracks glucose patterns. 3. Dexcom SHARE - this is an optional add-on to the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System that can share glucose information and notifications with up to five (5) other people. Shared glucose information can add another level of awareness. Using the wrong glucose information for treatment decisions could lead to low or high glucose. Blood glucose values from a blood glucose meter may differ from the information displayed on Dexcom Follow app. All treatment decisions should be made using a blood glucose meter, not the glucose information displayed on the Dexcom Follow app. Followers who are concerned by notifications on the Dexcom Follow app should contact the patients and remind them to check their blood glucose with a blood glucose meter before driving a car or making any treatment decisions, such as taking insulin or eating fast-acting carbohydrates. Sharers should not rely on Followers to notify them about low or high glucose. Any problems with the Cradle, iPhone or iPod touch, Bluetooth, wireless internet connection, mobile data connection, Dexcom SHARE Cloud or not being in the communication range could cause data to not be shared with the Follower. In addition, if the “Delay” setting is too long, the Follower might not be aware 24 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
of glucose level changes in a reasonable time. Therefore, Dexcom SHARE should be used only to give a secondary level of awareness and should not be expected to always communicate and transfer sensor glucose information. Jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches Dexcom requires patients and Followers to not use Dexcom SHARE apps on a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. A jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch do not offer a reliable means to use Dexcom SHARE. They present an unacceptable level of security and inaccuracy risk to the user and are not authorized to use Dexcom SHARE. User Agreement Your use of Dexcom SHARE system is subject to the terms of the most current Dexcom SHARE End User License Agreement posted at www.dexcom.com/share, and the Dexcom SHARE Privacy Policy posted at www.dexcom.com/share, as those documents are updated from time to time according to their terms. 25 Learning About Dexcom SHARE
