How can we help you?
The A1 takes glucose reading once every minute for up to 9 days. 9 days of use may not be reached due to muscle/joint activity that can cause the sensor probe to deviate from its optimal position or become damaged, or if the sensor is bitten, scratched, or knocked off the pet.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 system is a continuous glucose monitoring system that automatically sends glucose readings every 3 minutes directly to your smartphone, so you can help your pet act faster to avoid hypoglycemia. It has unsurpassed 9-day accuracy system. Being the world’s 1st glucose sensor for pet, Adapet Pet CGM A1 users can view pet's glucose levels with a quick glance at your smart phone.
Over the 9 day use life of the Adapet A1 an average variance around 10% is to be expected, but any single reading could have a 0-20% variance. There are four important factors in how CGM accuracy works that must be understood:
- All diabetes testing equipment (for humans and animals) will have a variance from lab testing which is considered the true level. Blood Glucose Meters (BGM) consist of using a lancet to draw blood, placing it on a test strip and inserting it into a meter. The FDA guidance for human BGMs is +/- 15%, whereas the FDA guidance for human CGMs is +/- 20% > 80mg/dL and 20 points < 80mg/dL. The FDA does not provide guidance on diabetes testing for animals.
- All CGMs (for humans and animals) are less accurate in the hypoglycemic range due to the nature of the technology, this is why the FDA guidance for human use switches from 20% accuracy to 20 points under 80 mg/dL.
- All CGMs (for humans and animals) are less accurate during spikes or drops in glucose. This is due to CGMs reading interstitial fluid glucose (IG) which is 5-15 minutes behind blood glucose (BG). An advanced algorithm has to both convert the IG readings into a BG reading and predict what the reading will be to eliminate the lag time.
- All CGMs (for humans and animals) may experience a variance in accuracy during the first few hours of use due to the immune system response to the sensor probe.
Select the location above the shoulder blade, near the back for up to 9 days.
A “Sensor Error” message appears when the sensor is unable to provide a glucose reading. With the Adapet Pet CGM A1 system, tap the “i” information symbol for more information, and then check again after the duration of time specified in the message.
If the “Sensor Error” message continues to appear please complete the online sensor support request form or contact our Customer Care Team at 604-565-0058.
The sensor is applied to the above the shoulder blade, near the back with a disposable device called an applicator. When the sensor is applied, a small (7mm) filament is inserted just under the skin and held in place with a small adhesive pad.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 sensor utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to stream glucose readings and enable real-time glucose alarms.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 Sensor is currently not recyclable.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 System was designed to be more sustainable for the environment with a 41% reduction in plastic use and 43% reduction in carton paper. The new sensor design aligns with Abbott's continued commitment to waste reduction.
Please consult your local waste management authority for instructions on how to dispose of Sensor Applicators at a designated sharps collection site. Ensure the cap is on the Sensor Applicator as it contains a needle.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 sensor should not be immersed deeper than 3 feet or longer than 30 minutes in water. As long as the Adapet Pet CGM A1 app is within 16 feet, the glucose alarms are turned ON, and Critical Alerts/Do Not Disturb and Bluetooth permissions are enabled, you should continue to receive glucose readings and alarms.
After you scan to activate the sensor with the Adapet Pet CGM A1 sensor app, there is a 60-minute start-up period before you receive your first glucose reading.
Yes. If you use an over-bandage it must be applied at the time of sensor application, the opening/hole in the center of the sensor must not be covered. Additional medical grade bandages/tape can be applied, but do not remove bandages/tape once applied until the sensor is ready for removal.
Replace the sensor and start a new sensor. Please complete the online sensor support request form or contact our Customer Care Team at 604-565-0058.
Visit the Adapet Pet CGM A1 Sensors Application Guide for guidance on how best to apply the sensor so it stays in place. Sensors stick better when you help to wash, clean, and dry your pet's skin before application.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 system is painless to apply and wear with a simple 1-piece applicator. There is a needle (sharp) in the applicator to insert the filament in the back of neck so the sensor can monitor your pet's glucose.
Pull up the edge of the adhesive that keeps your sensor attached to your pet's skin. Slowly peel away from your pet 's skin in one motion. Any remaining adhesive residue on the skin can be removed with warm soapy water or isopropyl alcohol.
The alcohol wipes for the sensor kits are purchased from other companies off the shelf, and we rely on their availability which can affect the packing and shipping of our sensor kits. Our top priority is to ensure that we supply you with the sensors your pet need. You can purchase alcohol wipes at pharmacies or other stores where they are available.

When using the Adapet Pet CGM A1 app the user must have access to a blood glucose meter because the app does not provide one. When the app displays the Check Blood Glucose symbol, a blood test is required for treatment decisions. blood tests are also required when symptoms do not match system readings, when you suspect readings may be inaccurate, or when you experience symptoms that may be due to high or low blood glucose.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 system is cleared for the management of diabetes in age 2 and older.
The Adapet Pet CGM A1 system uses technology that is proven to be accurate, stable and consistent for up to 9 days without blood test. Adapet Pet CGM A1 has an overall mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of 7.9%.
The sensor measures glucose every 3 minutes and automatically updates glucose values in the app every 3 minutes. Glucose readings are stored in the app every 5 minutes up to 9 days.
The HI and LO are symbols that indicate when results are beyond the reportable range. HI will be displayed when the result is above 540 mg/dL. LO will be displayed when the result is below 40 mg/dL. If you see "HI" or "LO" please check your pet's blood glucose with a test strip. If you get a second LO or HI result after doing a blood glucose test, contact your pet's healthcare professional immediately.

Interstitial fluid glucose measurements are taken from the fluid within tissue while blood glucose measurements are taken directly from the blood. Sensor glucose values, which are based on interstitial fluid glucose levels, can be different from blood glucose levels (blood test), particularly during times when your blood glucose is changing quickly. For example, after eating, taking insulin, or exercising. When glucose levels are falling quickly, glucose readings from the sensor may be higher than blood glucose levels. On the other hand, when glucose levels are rising quickly, glucose readings from the sensor may be lower than blood glucose levels.

If your pet's glucose readings and alarms from the system do not match your symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose value from a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
