Why Was This Recalled?

If blood glucose monitoring system users attempt to start a new sensor, when the old sensor wasn't used for the full 14-day wear time, then the reader may display "Incompatible Sensor" message. If users don't have the previous sensor, or FreeStyle Libre 2 app, or the sensor's full wear time hasn't ended, users may be unable to start a new sensor, which could result in no or delayed glucose results
