Senseonics Announces CE Mark Approval of the Eversense E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

Business Wire
The long-term implantable E3 CGM system now
approved for commercialization in select European markets
Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS) a medical
technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of
long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems
for people with diabetes, today announced that it has received CE
Mark approval for the next-generation Eversense® E3 CGM System, the
longest-lasting system available, with exceptional accuracy. The CE
Mark approval confirms that the Eversense E3 meets the requirements
of the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and enables the
commercialization of Eversense E3 in European Union (EU) member
countries. Senseonics’ commercial partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care,
will make the improved system, which can be used for up to 6
months, available from the third quarter of 2022.
“The CE Mark approval for E3 is another demonstration of our
commitment to advancing implantable CGM to improve the lives of
more diabetes patients worldwide. Not only does E3 strengthen our
position in the market, but it enables increased operational
efficiency as Senseonics will now commercialize the same product
iteration globally for the first time,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We are
excited for Ascensia to continue to build on the momentum of the E3
launch in the U.S. as they commercialize the improved system in
European markets in the coming months.”
The Eversense E3 CGM System has been designed to deliver key
improvements from the currently available Eversense XL CGM System,
which will be retired. The next-generation system offers
exceptional accuracy with the longest lasting sensor available,
alongside reduced frequency of calibration and enhanced sensor
longevity. Unlike the XL System, the new E3 System has also been
approved for non-adjunctive use, which provides for readings from
the system to inform insulin treatment decisions without
confirmation of glucose levels from fingerstick testing. Both
Eversense XL and E3 are approved for use for up to 6 months,
providing people with diabetes freedom from the burdens associated
with other available CGM systems, such as weekly or bi-weekly
self-insertions. Eversense E3 is already available in the U.S.
following FDA approval and launch earlier this year.
The Eversense E3 CGM System offers patients:
- Fully implantable third generation sensor, with proprietary SBA
technology to enhance sensor longevity, demonstrating a mean
absolute relative difference (MARD) of 8.5% in the PROMISE
Studyi.
- Industry leading 6-month sensor wear duration, making Eversense
the longest lasting CGM sensor available, with essentially two
sensor insertion and removal procedures per year.
- Removable smart transmitter ii, held in place with a gentle,
silicone-based adhesive, providing discreet on-body vibratory
alerts and data transmission to a mobile app where glucose values,
trends, and alerts are displayed.
Following the CE Mark approval in Europe, the E3 System will be
distributed in Germany, Italy, Spain (including Andorra), the
Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden. People in
these markets who are interested in getting started with Eversense
XL now can visit www.ascensia.com/eversense for more information,
and will be among the first to know when Eversense E3 is
commercially available.
About Eversense
The Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is
indicated for continually measuring glucose levels in persons age
18 years and older with diabetes for up to 6 months. The system is
indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG)
measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG
measurements are still required for calibration and when symptoms
do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the
tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are
performed by a trained and certified health care provider. The
Eversense CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk
to their health care provider to learn more. For important safety
