The GlucoSensor™ CGM system has a water rating of IPX7, meaning it is waterproof and can withstand incidental exposure to water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. When showering, it’s important to avoid applying shower gel directly on the CGM adhesive pad to maintain its adhesive strength. Consider using an overlay patch to reinforce adhesion if needed. If moisture enters between the sensor and transmitter, detach the transmitter from the sensor to wipe and retry the connection.

Exposure to chlorine could significantly increase the risk of the CGM becoming detached. This could for example be found in swimming pools or jacuzzis.
