CGMS® System Gold™ Continuous Glucose Monitoring | | | General Information | |
| Vendor | | Medtronic MiniMed | | Item | | CGMS® System Gold™ Continuous Glucose Monitoring | | Catalog Number | | Inquire | | Features | | The only 3-day sensor for at-home use:
- No other continuous glucose monitoring system features a sensor that can be used for 72 hours during a patient’s daily activities.
- Residing inside a permeable membrane, the flexible, platinum-plated electrode offers accurate measurements that are proven to correlate to fingerstick values.1
- This sensor, inserted just under the skin on the abdomen, sends an interstitial glucose measurement to the monitor every 10 seconds. A patented insertion device makes placing the sensor virtually painless for your patients.
A reliable, easy-to-wear monitor:
- The monitor, worn discreetly like a pager on your patients’ belt or in a pocket, records an average glucose value every five minutes.
- To calibrate the monitor, patients enter their self-monitored blood glucose readings four times each day.
- Patients can also enter meals, exercise, medication and other events that are incorporated into the reports.
CGMS Solutions™ software for rapid interpretation:
- Using the ComStation, you can quickly download the monitor data to your computer.
- CGMS Solutions Software then simplifies analysis by organizing all the data into easy-to-read charts, graphs and tables.
- These visual examples are also important informational tools because patients can see the effects of meals, exercise, insulin and medication on their blood glucose levels.
