FDA Approves Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
THURSDAY, June 28, 2018 -- The Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system, which has a fully implantable sensor to detect glucose, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in people age 18 years and older with diabetes.
The Eversense CGM uses a small sensor, which is implanted just under the skin by a qualified health care provider. The sensor regularly measures glucose levels in adults with diabetes for up to 90 days after implantation. The sensor works with a novel light-based technology to measure glucose levels and alerts users via a message sent to a mobile app in cases of hyper- or hypoglycemia.
