    Dexcom sent out a customer notification letter by certified mail to all direct customers on 02/23/16 notifying customers that they may not receive an intended audible alarm or alert if relying on hearing the alarm or alert. As a result customers may not detect a severe hypoglycemic (low glucose) or hyperglycemic (high glucose) event. The letter instructs the customer to peridically test the alarms and alerts on their receiver to make sure that the alarms and alerts are functioning properly (especially if the receiver gets wet of is dropped). Receiver part numbers and instructions for testing the alarms and alerts can be found on the back of the notification as well as in the User's Guide. Should customers find that alarms and alerts are not functioning properly or if any questions regarding the notification contact the deciated hotline tool free at 844-607-8398 or dial 858-291-1700.
