Seven Day Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Green Lighted in EU

December 4th, 2008 Medgadget Editors Medicine, Pediatrics


More news from Old Europe. DexCom Inc. out of San Diego has received European approval for the company’s SEVEN® continuous glucose monitoring system. As the name implies, the system features a subdermal sensor (pictured right) that can be worn for up to seven days of continuous use. A wireless receiver plots glucose over time on a little screen, giving you a better idea of the overall trend. See the flashbacks below for four years of our continuous coverage of the device.
Some of the features from the product page:

  • Only Sensor approved by the FDA for up to 7 days of use (other brands only last for up to 3 or 5 days)
  • Intuitive, easy-to-learn device buttons and functions
  • Rechargeable Receiver (other brands have batteries that require monthly replacement)
  • Large Receiver display for easy viewing
  • Water-resistant Sensor/Transmitter so that you can comfortably go about your everyday activities (no shower cover required)
  • Calibrate at any time with any FDA-cleared (U.S. commercially available) blood glucose meter
  • 24/SEVEN Low Glucose Alarm helps you sleep through the night without worrying that you might be entering the hypo zone (low glucose) without knowing
  • Press release: DexComTM Receives CE Mark Approval for the SEVEN(R) Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
    Product page: SEVEN CGM…
