Intended use
The Guardian Connect app is intended for continuous or periodic monitoring of glucose
levels in the interstitial fluid under the skin, in persons with diabetes mellitus.
The Guardian Connect app is intended for use with a compatible consumer mobile
electronic device. It allows users to track patterns in glucose concentrations and to
possibly identify episodes of low and high glucose. The Guardian Connect app displays
alerts if a glucose level reaches, falls below, or rises above set values.
Sensor glucose values displayed on the screen are not intended to be used directly for
making therapy adjustments, but rather to provide an indication of when a meter blood
glucose measurement may be required.
Contraindications
None known.
Safety Warnings
Caution:
Any changes or modifications to devices not expressly approved by
Medtronic could interfere with your ability to operate the equipment and
void your warranty.
The Guardian Connect app requires that you have a functioning mobile electronic device
with the correct settings (such as a supported operating system and Bluetooth® enabled)
for accurate operation. A non-functioning mobile device, or incorrect settings on your
mobile device, may prevent the Guardian Connect app from properly displaying alerts.
Precautions
You must test your blood glucose levels at least two times per day, or as indicated by the
system. If the Guardian Connect app indicates that your sensor glucose is not within your
glucose target range, check your blood glucose using your blood glucose meter.
Taking medications with acetaminophen while wearing the sensor may falsely raise your
sensor glucose readings. The level of inaccuracy depends on the amount of
acetaminophen active in your body and may be different for each person. Always use
blood glucose meter readings to verify your glucose level before making therapy
decisions.
