Eversense XL CGM User Guide
Interstitial Fluid (ISF) The fluid between cells in the
body. The Eversense XL CGM measures glucose from
an interstitial fluid sample, versus glucose in a blood
sample obtained from a fingerstick.
Jailbroken Device A device (iPhone or iPod) that has
been modified to remove the controls and limits set by
the original manufacturer.
LED Light Emitting Diode
Linked Sensor A sensor that is connected to a smart
transmitter.
“LO” Reading Indicates sensor glucose reading is
< 2.2 mmol/L.
Mobile Device A handheld device built on a mobile
operating system that runs the Eversense App and
communicates with the smart transmitter.
mg/dL Milligrams per deciliter, a unit of measure that
shows the concentration of a substance in a specific
amount of fluid. In some countries, including the United
States, glucose test results are reported as mg/dL,
indicating how much glucose is in the blood when using
a blood glucose meter, or how much glucose is in the
interstitial fluid when using some CGM systems, like the
Eversense XL CGM System.
mmol/L Millimoles per liter, a unit of measure that
shows the concentration of a substance in a specific
amount of fluid. In many countries, glucose test results
are reported as mmol/L, indicating how much glucose is
in the blood when using a blood glucose meter, or how
much glucose is in the interstitial fluid when using some
CGM systems, like the Eversense XL CGM System.
MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Rate of change/trend arrows Indicators of direction
and speed of change of your glucose levels.
Sensor A device inserted subcutaneously for
continually measuring interstitial fluid glucose levels.
Snooze Setting Used to set how often an alert repeats.
Subcutaneous Located beneath the skin.
Smart Transmitter A reusable device worn externally
over the inserted sensor that powers the sensor and
sends glucose information to the mobile device for
display in the Eversense App.
Warm-Up Phase The period the sensor requires to
adjust after the sensor has been inserted and before
calibrations.
