Animas® Vibe® Insulin Pump is CGM-enabled, which means you have the option to receive glucose readings every 5 minutes on your Animas® Vibe® Insulin Pump, where the data can be viewed and analysed.
The major benefit of having a CGM-enabled insulin pump is that this functionality reveals a complete view of the glucose highs, lows and rates of change over time. This information complements fingerstick testing results and can be used to help guide therapy adjustments.
CGM doesn’t replace fingerstick testing; rather, it works with it.† With trending graphs and directional arrows, the idea is to use CGM to determine the direction your glucose is headed and how fast, and then use your fingerstick test to figure out your insulin dose.
Dexcom G4® PLATINUM Sensor is a thin wire inserted underneath your skin with the help of an introducer needle. The Sensor is held in place with adhesive, similar to the way your infusion set is attached.
CGM readings, measured by the Sensor, are sent from the Transmitter to the Animas® Vibe® Insulin Pump every 5 minutes.* To track how your glucose is behaving over time. It tells you where your glucose is heading and how fast.
Sensors are disposable. The Dexcom G4® PLATINUM Sensor is approved for up to 7 days of continuous wear.
Dexcom G4® PLATINUM Transmitter is a reusable component, that clips into place inside a plastic sensor pod that’s attached to the adhesive and Sensor. It wirelessly sends your sensor-measured glucose readings to your insulin pump.
