How to end a sensor session:
When you remove your Dexcom G6 sensor, your transmitter will also come off. Remember that your transmitter is reusable; don’t throw it away until its battery has died. One transmitter has a battery life of 90 days, so you can use the same transmitter over a number of sensor sessions. You will receive notifications as the transmitter nears the end of its battery life.
Follow these easy steps:
First, grab the edge of the adhesive patch, then peel the adhesive and transmitter up and away from your body like you’re removing a bandage.
Next, to remove the transmitter from the holder, push down the lip of the transmitter holder and break open its wide end.
Pull the transmitter out of the holder and keep it to use with your next sensor. You’ll reuse your transmitter for three months.
Throw away patch, with the holder and sensor attached, following your local guidelines for disposal of blood-contacting components.
After removing the Dexcom G6 sensor from your body and the transmitter from the transmitter holder, you’re ready to start a new sensor session. You won’t have to pair your transmitter to your compatible smart device;* the transmitter will remain paired until the end of its battery life. However, you will need to enter a new sensor code, because the code is specific to each sensor.
