Dexcom G4 sensor and magnetic resonance

Antonio200's profile photo   01/23/2017 11:16 a.m.

Good morning.

Tomorrow I have a magnetic resonance and I wonder if you have done any without taking off the sensor (the transmitter yes, I mean to finish a sensor session, who whoever and start it and start it after the resonance).

In Dexcom's security measures, you let everything take off, but the sensor has nothing metallic.In fact it seems that a metallic object would distort the image, but I carry the sensor in one arm and they will make the resonance on the opposite shoulder, so bad ...

Thanks and greetings

@"Antonio200" A couple of weeks ago they made me a resonance, it was on my ankle and I carry the sensor in the lower back zone ... everything was perfect, I put here a link with what I commented and other experiences.

Thanks Fer for the speed of your answer.And an apology to all because, contrary to what I usually do I have not searched in the forum, I am at work and I have put the question and now ...
He supposed nothing happens to take it, but I already say that Dexcom is not what he says.
Thanks again

@"Antonio200" If the sensor is at the end of its useful life cycle, then better withdraw everything, in my case, I caught me with 3 days of use, and I have used it until 2 weeks.;)

It is that I do not say it if not clear that they make it remove, that they pay us the € 90 that are worth ...

@Gala, you are a brave one! They told me that more than to avoid harming me, it is to prevent the devices from spoiling !! ... it is seen that with the magnetic waves mobile, computers, etc... And the transmitter too!#:-s

Hi Antonio, the problem is that if you leave the sensor, you can break down and then offer incorrect readings, which entails a risk to your health.
