Ottai Ottai Global | CGM frequently asked questions

Question 1

How many days does an Ottai sensor last?

Accepted Answer

The sensor is designated for a 14-day wearing session. All kits are non-reusable. Once the sensor is removed, please discard it while following all applicable local regulations related to the disposal of electronic equipment, batteries, sharps, and materials potentially exposed to interstitial fluids.

Question 2

Does it hurt to wear?

Accepted Answer

Our sensor is minimally invasive, and most users report feeling no pain at all, with a minority experiencing slight discomfort, which typically diminishes over time.If pain, irritation, or discomfort persists or worsens, remove the sensor immediately and also contact us or seek medical advice if necessary.

Question 3

Why do the readings from the Ottai cgm not always match the blood glucose monitoring results?

Accepted Answer

Due to the difference in testing objects (interstitial fluids vs. Blood drops) and time concepts (physiological lag between interstitial fluid glucose and blood glucose; the glucose level in interstitial fluid reacts slower than the glucose level in the blood), the user will observe different readings when both devices are used together. Please ensure that you allow for an observation gap time for readings when major factors, such as meals, medication, exercise, and insulin dosages, are leading to changes in glucose levels.

Question 4

When the sensor expires, will my historical data & report be saved upon replacement?

Accepted Answer

All of your historical glucose data, analytics, and reports will be stored in your account. You can view your historical data by going to the summary page and customizing the desired date range or accessing your glucose reports on profile page. Please sync the data if you are notified to synchronize the data in-APP. Otherwise, the unsynced part of your glucose data will not be saved on the cloud to be retrieved later.

Question 5

What does an Ottai® cgm look like? what are the components?

Accepted Answer

Except for the hardware mentioned, users need to download the Ottai App from the Google play store/APP store, or the official website to access the real-time data, detailed summary and standardized reports.

Question 6

What does 24-hour continuous monitoring mean?

Accepted Answer
