The new CGMS iPro® is is a technological leap forward in blind CGM for Healthcare Professionals. Use simple evaluation to gain critical insights into glycaemic patterns.
Healthcare Professionals prescribe Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) for their diabetes patients because the trend data can give them a clearer picture of blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. The Medtronic sensor provides an average blood sugar measurement every 5 minutes, for 3 days at a time. That's 288 readings a day! So when your healthcare professional downloads the data collected, you have an increased depth of information for you and your healthcare team to make clinical decisions.
- Small & discreet
- Waterproof
- No cables or monitor necessary
- No patient interaction required
The iPro® Professional CGMS uses the same Medtronic glucose sensor as the Guardian REAL-Time®11 and the MiniMed Paradigm® VEO12 CGM products, so its use and insertion are familiar to you and your patients, and can also make your own inventory management easier.
3 Easy Steps
1. Patient visits the Clinic. The patient is set up in the software, glucose sensor inserted and the iPro® connected.
2. At home. All the patient needs to do is record 4 of their regular Fingerstick readings per day. The iPro® holds onto the glucose sensor data until the end of the test period.
3. Patient's second visit to the Clinic . The glucose sensor data is downloaded for the software to provide comprehensive glycaemic trend data and easy to read reports.
