Medtronic’s Enlite CGM Sensor

Medtronic’s Enlite CGM Sensor

This sensor was approved in Europe in April 2011, and the FDA is still waiting for an additional study by Medtronic before approving the new sensor in the U.S. According to Medtronic, Enlite combines greater comfort with improved glucose sensor performance in both overall accuracy and hypo detection. It is 69% smaller than the current CGM sensor. Not only is it smaller and more accurate but it also has a life span of 6 days bringing it into the range of the DexCom 7.
