YDC Product Troubleshooting Guide : 001SD (=DX116 or DX042) - UNABLE TO START DEXCOM SENSOR

Complaint documentation

For this complaint code, please obtain the following:

  • Pump SN
  • G6 Transmitter SN
  • Landscape Mode (Screenshot) 



Problem

Smart device displays: ‘No Restarts‘ or ‘Sensor Error. Wait up to 3 hours

Questions to be asked

  • Is the user using a compatible phone running a compatible operating system
  • Is the user using the most up to date version of the app.
  • Please ask the user to submit logs.
  1. Did previous sensor end prematurely or fell out
  2. If YES to 1., was ‘Stop sensor‘ pressed in the CamAPS FX Main Menu (Menu -> Stop Sensor)
  3. Did you wait at least 5min before starting the new sensor
  4. Did you delay starting a session for longer than 30 minutes after transmitter has been snapped into transmitter holder; waiting longer than 30min could lead to a false restart alert
  5. How long has it been since the new sensor was inserted; if less than 30min wait up to 30min

Questions to be documented

  1. Was a new sensor insterted; if NOT instert a new sensor
  2. Did the sensor deploy correctly on application, was there any bleeding at the site

  3. How long between sensor insertion and selecting ’Start Sensor‘: (i) <5min, (ii) 5 to 29min or (iii) >=30min

  4. Was ‘Sensor failed‘ message displayed on the smart device

Actions

  • If previous sensor ended prematurely:
  • Go to the CamAPS FX Main Menu, scroll down until you see ‘Stop sensor‘ and tap on it
  • If the ‘Stop sensor‘ button is greyed out, restart the phone and try again
  • ‘Start sensor‘ message should appear on the screen
  • If “Start sensor” message does not appear, unpair transmitter in “Bluetooth Settings”, wait 15 minutes
  • Wait for the ‘Start Warmup‘ message to appear on the home screen
  • If new sensor was started too soon (<5min) or more than 30min passed between sensor insertion and starting the sensor or sensor was replaced without stopping the old sensor and the sensor session has now ended; apply a new sensor and submit product support request to Dexcom to request sensor replacement (DX116)
  • If new sensor did not deploy correctly or the error message ‘Sensor Failed’ or ‘Sensor Error. Wait up to 3 hours’ appeared; apply a new sensor and submit product support request to Dexcom to request sensor replacement (DX042)

Advice to patient: 

a) Ensure previous session has ended (session has expired, user manually stops session, sensor failure, etc.)

b) Remove the transmitter from the previous transmitter holder

c) Wait 5 minutes

d) Insert a new sensor

e) Snap in transmitter and start new sensor session within 5 minutes of new sensor insertion

Reasons behind

  • Stop sensor‘in the CamAPS FX Main Menu needs to be pressed if sensor ends prematurely or falls out
  • If a sensor was replaced without the old sensor being stopped, the transmitter does not detect a new sensor and continues with the old sensor session
  • Starting the new sensor too soon after previous session has ended my lead to a confusion, e.g. the information about new sensor not getting through
  • Waiting 30min or more between insertion and starting new sensor session may lead to a false restart alert
