# 7.4. Device Description
The proposed Dexcom G6 CGM System, Dexcom G6 Glucose Program CGM System, and Dexcom G6 Professional CGM System are based on the same physical principles and fundamental design as the predicate for each respective system but includes a modified adhesive patch. The adhesive patch adheres the transmitter holder to the user's body. The Dexcom G6 CGM System, Dexcom G6 Glucose Program CGM System, and the Dexcom G6 Professional CGM System are designed to function as intended with either the proposed or current adhesive patch. The proposed adhesive patch has the same form, fit, and function as the commercial adhesive patch and, from the users' perspective, functions identically.
#### Dexcom G6 CGM System 7.4.1.
The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is an interoperable connected device that measures and displays glucose values for patients with diabetes. The G6 CGM System consists of three main components: a sensor/applicator, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitter, and a BLE enabled display device (receiver and/or mobile application). The sensor is a small and flexible wire, which is inserted by the applicator into subcutaneous tissue where it converts glucose into electrical current. The sensor has an expected wear time of up to 10 days. The transmitter is connected to the sensor and is worn on the body. The transmitter samples the electrical current produced by the sensor and converts these measurements into estimated glucose values (EGV) using an onboard algorithm. The transmitter sends glucose data to the receiver and/or mobile app, which displays the current glucose reading (updated every 5 minutes) and glucose trends. The receiver and/or mobile app also alerts the user when glucose levels are outside of a target zone and when other important system conditions occur. The G6 CGM System is designed to be used alone or in conjunction with digitally connected devices. The G6 CGM System can communicate Estimated Glucose Values (EGV) and other information wirelessly and securely to and from these digitally connected devices.
#### 7.4.2. Dexcom G6 Glucose Program CGM System
The Dexcom G6 Glucose Program Continuous Glucose Monitoring System measures and displays glucose values and trends for patients with diabetes who are not at significant risk of severe hypoglycemia. The system is factory calibrated and provides continuous qlucose readings at five-minute intervals for up to ten days of use. The system consists of a sensor/applicator, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitter, and a mobile CGM software module (app module) that is embedded within a third-party program provider's mobile app (host app).
The sensor is a small and flexible wire, which is inserted by the applicator into subcutaneous tissue where it converts glucose into electrical current. The transmitter is connected to the sensor and is worn on the body. The transmitter samples the electrical current produced by the sensor and converts these measurements into estimated glucose values (EGV) using an
{7}------------------------------------------------
onboard algorithm. The transmitter sends glucose data to the app module, which displays the current glucose reading (updated every 5 minutes) and glucose trends. The app module does not include any glucose related alarm or alerts but will alert the user when important system conditions occur.
#### 7.4.3. Dexcom G6 Professional CGM System
The Dexcom G6 Professional CGM System is a continuous glucose monitor that offers an introduction to CGM for users who would benefit from the supervision of their qualified Healthcare Professional (HCP) during early or initial use of CGM.
The G6 Professional CGM System consists of three main components: a sensor/applicator delivery system, a transmitter, and a mobile application (app). The sensor is a small and flexible wire inserted into subcutaneous tissue where it converts glucose into electrical current. The G6 Professional CGM System transmitter is connected to the sensor and is worn on the body. It samples the electrical current produced by the sensor and converts these measurements into glucose readings using an onboard algorithm. The G6 Professional CGM System transmitter's firmware includes an auto-start feature which enables the transmitter to start a session immediately upon attachment of the transmitter to the on-body wearable. The G6 Professional CGM System transmitter can be used as a retrospective CGM data logger, and it can also send real-time estimated glucose values to the G6 Mobile Application. The HCP elects which type of CGM session the patient receives (retrospective vs. real-time). The G6 Professional CGM System transmitter firmware supports a single-use 10-day sensor session per transmitter. The G6 Mobile Application displays the current glucose reading (updated every 5 minutes) and qlucose trends (up to 24 hours) from the transmitter.
