How do you know when to replace dexcom transmitter?
The transmitter battery is good for up to 3 months. Starting 3 weeks before the end the battery life, the receiver will warn the user that the transmitter will soon need to be replaced.
Can you reuse dexcom G6 transmitter?
If you’d like to use the transmitter beyond the 112 days, and instead use the transmitter until the end of its battery life, you can use the same process described in my G5-reset-transmitter post. The G6 transmitter can be reset at any time just like the G5 transmitters.
Will dexcom replace failed sensor?
During a sensor session, your Dexcom G6 may detect that the sensor can no longer determine your glucose reading. At this time, the sensor session will end and your receiver or compatible smart device* will display the “Sensor Failed” screen. You will now need to replace the sensor.
Can you change Dexcom G6 transmitter early?
Can I change my sensor early? Yes. You can change a Dexcom G6 sensor earlier than 10 days. Just make sure to select “Stop Sensor” in your compatible smart device* or receiver before removing the old sensor; this will help you avoid any unnecessary issues with your new sensor.
How long does battery last on Dexcom G6 transmitter?
Starting at 3 weeks before the end of its battery life, the warnings count down the transmitter battery life until it has only 10 days – one sensor session – left. If the transmitter battery has less than 10 days remaining, you won’t be able to start a new session and will see “Pair New Transmitter” instead.
How long does the first warning on a G6 transmitter last?
The first warning marks the end (or VERY close to it) of the warranty period, although the transmitter should be good for at least 2 more sessions before it shuts itself down. I basically use that first warning as a reminder to reorder.
