URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION
FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensors


Dear Customer,

This communication only applies to people who use FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors. The FreeStyle Libre 3 system includes a sensor, reader and app. This medical device correction impacts the sensor only. The FreeStyle Libre 3 reader and app are not impacted. There is no impact for people who use FreeStyle Libre 14 day, FreeStyle Libre 2 or FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensors.

Abbott has recently identified a small number of FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors that may provide incorrect high glucose readings, which if undetected may pose a potential health risk for people living with diabetes.

This issue affects only a small subset of FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors. To determine if your current sensor or any unused sensors you have are affected, please visit www.FreeStyleConfirm.com and select “CONFIRM SENSOR SERIAL NUMBER”.
How to locate the FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor Serial Number

If you are wearing a Sensor, you can find the Serial number in the App or Reader. The Serial Number can also be found on the bottom of the Sensor Applicator label and carton.

Actions to be Taken

Please complete the actions listed here and acknowledge by clicking the button below.
If you are currently using the FreeStyle Libre 3 system and are wearing an affected sensor, please immediately discontinue use and dispose of any affected sensors in your possession.

You can request a replacement for any affected sensor(s) by visiting www.FreeStyleConfirm.com Select “CONFIRM SENSOR SERIAL NUMBER” and enter a valid Serial Number. If your sensor is impacted, you will be instructed to enter your contact information so a replacement product can be sent to you at no cost.

If you have symptoms that do not match the sensor glucose reading or suspect your reading may be inaccurate, check the reading by conducting a fingerstick test using any blood glucose meter. The built-in blood glucose meter in the FreeStyle Libre 3 Reader may be used to check your glucose at any time.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Potential Risk

• If undetected, erroneously high glucose readings can pose a potential health risk for people living with diabetes.
