FDA OKs Dexcom SHARE

(RTTNews) - Dexcom, Inc. (DXCM) said Monday that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its continuous glucose monitoring remote mobile communications device: Dexcom SHARE.

Dexcom SHARE, an accessory to the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, uses a secure wireless connection to transmit the glucose levels of a person with diabetes to the smartphones of up to five designated recipients, or "followers."

The followers can remotely monitor a patient's glucose information and receive alert notifications from almost anywhere via their Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhone or iPod touch.

With Dexcom SHARE, parents and personal caregivers can monitor a child's or loved one's glucose data from a remote location.
