Senseonics' Eversense 365 is approved in the US as an integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system for people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes aged 18 and older
Commercial launch by Ascensia Diabetes Care underway with a new campaign to highlight the unique benefits of having just one CGM for one full year
GERMANTOWN, Md. and ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS) ("Senseonics" or the "Company"), a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes, and Mercy, a leading healthcare system, today announced that the first commercial patient received the next-generation Eversense® 365 CGM system. This milestone, part of the company's previously announced collaboration with Mercy, marks the world's first commercial use of Eversense 365, the only CGM to provide one-year of accurate monitoring with minimal interruptions.
Mercy (https://www.mercy.net/newsroom/mercy-quick-facts/), one of the 20 largest U.S. health systems and named the top large system in the U.S. for excellent patient experience by NRC Health, serves millions annually with nationally recognized quality care and one of the nation’s largest Accountable Care Organizations. Mercy is a highly integrated, multi-state health care system including more than 50 acute care and specialty (heart, children’s, orthopedic and rehab) hospitals, convenient and urgent care locations, imaging centers and pharmacies. Mercy has over 900 physician practice locations and outpatient facilities, more than 4,500 physicians and advanced practitioners and more than 47,000 co-workers serving patients and families across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has clinics, outpatient services and outreach ministries in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. (PRNewsfoto/Mercy)
"This is a pivotal moment for people with diabetes..."
This patient and those who follow, along with their doctors, will be able to monitor glucose levels and trends for a full year, with no requirement for additional sensor replacements and only one calibration per week. Eversense 365 offers patients a truly differentiated CGM experience, enabling confident decisions, long-term peace of mind and enhanced quality of life with just one CGM. It also helps people to overcome common frustrations and interruptions experienced with traditional, short-term CGMs that are indicated to last just 10-14 days. Senseonics and Mercy expect this significant breakthrough in diabetes technology and management to improve gylcemic control for patients, reduce distress associated with managing diabetes and lower overall healthcare costs for providers and payers.
"Without the technology, patients deal with constant finger pricks to test their glucose or have sensors that need to be replaced every few days," said Dr. Jeff Ciaramita, Mercy's president of specialty service lines. "This is a pivotal moment for people with diabetes because this groundbreaking technology allows patients a more convenient and reliable way to manage their condition for an entire year with a single sensor. As Mercy strives to make care easy for our patients, what better way than to be the first in the world to offer Eversense 365."
Eversense 365 was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month. The commercial launch, which has now begun, is being managed by Senseonics global commercial partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation (TSE 6523). Mercy serves 3 million patients annually and expects that approximately 30,000 of Mercy's patients could benefit from a CGM system.
"We are thrilled to see the successful first commercial insertion of the Eversense 365 CGM system at Mercy," said Francine Kaufman, M.D. Senseonics' chief medical officer. "Eversense 365 addresses many of the challenges that patients experience with traditional, short-term CGMs and we are excited to see the real-world benefit it can have as it is rolled out to patients across the U.S. We expect that health systems across the country will recognize the benefits that Mercy has embraced and can adopt Eversense 365 towards enhancing the quality of care while reducing the cost of care. Our goal is to make this life-changing technology accessible to as many patients as possible through collaborations with forward-thinking health care leaders such as Mercy."
"This long-term monitoring solution empowers patients with real-time data and enables our clinicians to deliver proactive, personalized care, ultimately leading to better health and quality of life for those we serve," Dr. Ciaramita said. "By adopting Eversense 365, we're enhancing our commitment to value-based care ?driving to improve patient outcomes while reducing overall health care costs."

SenesTech Announces Development and Distribution Agreement for ContraPest® in South Africa
PHOENIX, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES, "SenesTech" or the "Company"), (www.senestech.com) the rodent fertility control experts and inventors of the only EPA registered contraceptive for male and female rats, announced entry into a Development and Distribution Agreement with Pathogens and Environmental Solutions (PES) of South Africa for the commercialization of ContraPest® into South Africa. Under the agreement, PES will be responsible for seeking regulatory registration, and all marketing and sales of ContraPest into South Africa.
"South Africa is a leading sub-Saharan economy with an active pest control industry focused on the agricultural and public health applications of pest control. We were introduced to South Africa and PES by the South African National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA), who are continuing to advise us, and who clearly articulated their support for fertility control and ContraPest in particular. They have committed to recommend ContraPest to private and state entities and to assist with regulatory issues," said Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's President and CEO.
"NSPCA brought in PES as being an excellent partner for us in this project, as they have extensive experience in securing registration and launching commercialization of pest control products. Specifically, PES is a leading manufacturer and distributor of rodent pest control products, with an explicit goal to constantly grow their range of products by adding innovative products for integrated pest management (IPM)," continued Mr. Fruendt. "While we are starting in South Africa, I have no doubt that we will be able to expand our work with PES across its sub-Saharan territories."
"At PES we aim to bring innovative products to the African Sub-Saharan region. Contrapest fits this aim perfectly, and partnering with Senestech was a logical fit for us at PES, as we are always looking for industry leading products," said Reon Hillebrand, Director at PES. "Once regulatory approval is achieved, we look forward to offering our customers this unique rodent control alternative, complementing our current rodent control offering in South Africa and our other African partners."
About SenesTech
We are the experts in rat fertility control. Our passion is to create a healthy environment by better controlling rat pest populations. We keep an inescapable truth in mind. Two rats and their descendants can be responsible for the birth of up to 15,000 pups after a year. We invented ContraPest, the only U.S. EPA registered contraceptive for male and female rats. ContraPest fits seamlessly into all integrated pest management programs, greatly improving the overall goal of effective rat management. We strive for clean cities, efficient businesses, and happy households – with a product that was designed to be effective and sustainable without killing rats. At SenesTech, we are committed to improving the

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascensia Diabetes Care, a global diabetes care company, announces that its partner Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS) has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the next-generation Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. Ascensia plans to make the Eversense E3 sensor, which can be used for up to 6 months, available to patients in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2022.
Ascensia Diabetes Care logo
Robert Schumm, President at Ascensia Diabetes Care, said, "As the world's first and only long-term CGM System, Eversense is truly innovative and the prospect of using a single sensor for 6 months is a huge step forward for people with diabetes. Ensuring that as many people as possible have access to Eversense E3 is key for us and we'll be introducing a program to help users experience Eversense affordably as we work closely with payers on coverage. We look forward to rolling out this next-generation system through our dedicated CGM commercial team in the U.S. in the coming months, as we strive to improve the lives of people with diabetes everywhere."
Developed by Senseonics and brought to people with diabetes by Ascensia, the newly approved Eversense E3 CGM System, which includes a sacrificial boronic acid (SBA) design modification to enhance sensor survival, offers patients:
The longest lasting CGM available, with 6-month sensor wear duration and essentially two sensor insertion and removal procedures per year
Exceptional accuracy, with a mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of 8.5% demonstrated in the PROMISE Study1 for the duration of sensor wear
A fully implantable fluorescence-based sensor, with a removable smart transmitter* that provides discreet on-body vibratory alerts and transmits data to a mobile app
Fewer calibrations, with primarily one calibration required per day after day 21 of use
"This next generation system delivers on the patient's desire for a CGM sensor that is both long-lasting and highly accurate," said Elaine Anderson, Head of Eversense CGM Business Unit at Ascensia Diabetes Care. "Its unique features and benefits offer people with diabetes unparalleled flexibility, convenience and accuracy. Our partner Senseonics has designed Eversense E3 with the user in mind and we are excited to bring the system to people in the U.S. in the second quarter."
