Can I swim and bathe with Dexcom G7?
Once inserted, the sensor is waterproof up to 8 feet. The receiver isn't. Swim, shower, and take a bath with the sensor, but leave the receiver out of the water.
If you're immersed in water, Bluetooth won't send your sensor readings to your display device. When your sensor readings resume, up to 24 hours of missed sensor readings can fill in on the trend graph on your phone app or receiver. Up to 6 hours of missed sensor readings can fill in on your watch app trend graph.
The patch stays on longer if kept dry. For details, go to the Adhesive Patch section in the Troubleshooting chapter. Dexcom G7 User Guide.
*The Dexcom G7 sensor is waterproof and may be submerged under eight feet of water for up to 24 hours without failure when properly installed.
