Revved-up components of the SEVEN® PLUS
The SEVEN PLUS is made up of 3 powerful technologies that will make your motor rev. Go ahead — compare us to the competition.

Sensor
The SEVEN Sensor is a flexible, round, platinum-based, miniature wire that goes just under your skin to read glucose levels, and attaches to the skin with its adhesive patch. The SEVEN Sensor is the smallest available — which means maximum comfort.
The SEVEN Sensor is the only Sensor FDA approved for up to 7 days of use — a full week! Other brands only last up to 3 or 5 days. Seven days of uninterrupted wear gives you more time to live life, and minimizes the time you spend replacing your Sensors and waiting during new Sensor startup.
Transmitter
The Transmitter is a micro-technology that wirelessly sends glucose information to the Receiver every 5 minutes. The Transmitter snaps into the Sensor to form a small and discreet Pod that's wireless and lightweight, maximizing comfort and convenience. Here you see the Transmitter snapped into the Sensor. You also can see the adhesive patch that holds the Pod to your skin.
The PLUS Transmitter and Sensor Pod form a sleek, water-resistant unit. Using competitors' heavier or bulkier transmitters can cause sensor-units to come off the skin — this means missed readings, cost of sensor replacement, and frustration.
Widescreen Receiver
The SEVEN PLUS Receiver is a wireless device that has the largest available widescreen display with easy-to-read glucose trends so you can quickly and easily know where your glucose is headed.
At about the size and weight of a cell phone, you can clip the Receiver to your belt, put it in your pocket, handbag, or briefcase, or just set it somewhere near you, like on your desk or nightstand. The Transmitter can be up to 5 feet away from the Receiver and still transmit your glucose readings. The Receiver provides quick and easy viewing of 1-hour, 3-hour, 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour glucose trends and current glucose readings.
Your Home Screen shows your 3-hour trend, trend-arrow, and current glucose value, so you can have a complete look at your glucose at a glance. It's your one-stop Home Screen.
The PLUS widescreen shows you where you have been, where you are, and where you're headed

The PLUS has customizable alerts and re-alerts that you can depend on — like your personal 24/SEVEN safety net. And, the SEVEN PLUS offers you extra peace of mind with its one-of-a kind Hypo-Safety-Alarm — designed to alert you when your glucose falls to 55 mg/dL or lower. Learn more about alerts.
The Receiver stores up to 30 days of data and can be downloaded to your computer using DexCom Data Manager® 3 software for viewing of long-term trends. Learn more about this glucose analysis software.
