DexCom Receives Approval to Calibrate Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

DexCom has received FDA approval to calibrate the Seven, its seven-day continuous glucose monitoring system, using any FDA-cleared blood glucose meter.

With this approval, patients will be able to calibrate the system without using a connection cable, the company said. DexCom expects to launch this feature to new patients near the end of the first quarter of 2008 and upgrade existing patients during the second quarter of 2008.
