Indications and Important Safety Information for the FreeStyle
Navigator® System
Safety Information: Users should read all of the
instructions in the User's Guide before using the FreeStyle
Navigator® Continuous Glucose Monitoring System. Adjustments to
treatment should be done under the guidance of the user's health care team.
Indications for Use: The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous
Glucose Monitoring System is indicated for continually recording interstitial
fluid glucose levels in people (ages 18 and older) with diabetes mellitus for
the purpose of improving diabetes management. Readings and alarms about glucose
levels from the FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System are
not intended to replace traditional blood glucose monitoring. Before adjusting
therapy for diabetes management based on results and alarms from the FreeStyle
Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, traditional blood glucose tests
must be performed. The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
provides a built-in blood glucose meter to confirm the continuous glucose
result.
The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System provides
real-time readings, graphs, trends, and glucose alarms directly to the user.
The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be
used in home settings to aid people with diabetes in predicting and detecting
episodes of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and in clinical settings to aid
health care professionals in evaluating glucose control. The FreeStyle
Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is available only by
prescription.
Contraindications: The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous
Glucose Monitoring System must be removed prior to Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI).
Prescription Device: Federal law restricts the sale of this
device by or on order of a physician.
Warnings/Precautions: Infection, inflammation, or bleeding
at the glucose sensor insertion site are possible risks of inserting a sensor
into your skin. If you believe your results are not reliable, or are
inconsistent with how you feel, perform a blood glucose mode test to measure
your glucose. If the problem continues, discard the old sensor and insert a new
sensor. Performance of the system under conditions of fluctuating hydration
levels such as during renal dialysis has not been evaluated. Unintended
dislodging of the sensor due to excessive perspiration, exercise, or bumping,
may cause unreliable or no results without warning. Performance of the
FreeStyle Navigator system has not been evaluated in pregnant women.
