Reason for Correction
Dexcom Inc. is correcting the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System’s G6 and G6 Pro Android US CGM App version 1.15.0 due to an identified bug that can cause the app to terminate unexpectedly. As a result, the user may not receive estimated glucose values, alarms, or alerts. If a user is unaware that the app has terminated, there is potential for missed detection of a high blood sugar (hyperglycemic) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemic) event.

The use of affected product may cause serious adverse health consequences, including hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and death.

As of September 16, Dexcom has not reported any serious injuries or deaths associated with this issue.

Device Use
