Indications and Important Safety Information for the CoPilot® System for the FreeStyle Navigator® System

CoPilot® System for the FreeStyle Navigator® System Intended Use and Application:
The CoPilot system is intended for use in home and clinical settings by patients and healthcare professionals. It is intended to aid people with diabetes and healthcare professionals in the review, analysis and evaluation of information such as historical blood glucose test results, insulin dosages, carbohydrate intake, and exercise data in support of an effective diabetes health management program. It can be used with supported Abbott Diabetes Care blood glucose monitoring systems, where data is uploaded, saved, analyzed, displayed as charts, graphs and reports, printed, and shared.

Users should be aware that the CoPilot system is merely an information management tool – it does not provide diagnostic information, nor does it give advice on the management of diabetes, and it is therefore not intended to substitute for the support of a healthcare professional. Home users should always consult their healthcare professional if they have any queries or concerns about diabetes management.

The CoPilot Health Management System for FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CoPilot system for FreeStyle Navigator) allows data to be uploaded from the FreeStyle Navigator system to the CoPilot system, where it can be saved, analyzed, displayed as reports, charts and graphs, printed and shared.

Prescription Device:
Federal law restricts the sale of this device by or on order of a physician.

Warnings/Precautions:
Infection, inflammation, or bleeding at the glucose sensor insertion site are possible risks of inserting a sensor into your skin. If you believe your results are not reliable, or are inconsistent with how you feel, perform a blood glucose mode test to measure your glucose. If the problem continues, discard the old sensor and insert a new sensor. Performance of the system under conditions of fluctuating hydration levels such as during renal dialysis has not been evaluated. Unintended dislodging of the sensor due to excessive perspiration, exercise, or bumping, may cause unreliable or no results without warning. Performance of the FreeStyle Navigator system has not been evaluated in pregnant women.
