Examples of misuse include exposure to liquids, damage, and introduction of foreign material into the ports. The potential for overheating, spark, or fire may occur when charging the Reader with non- Abbott adapters or non-Abbott USB cables combined with misuse of the Reader and its components. This does not affect any of the FreeStyle Libre family of sensors. Reason for RecallĪbbott is recalling the FreeStyle Libre, Libre 14 day, and Libre 2 Flash Glucose Management Systems’ reader devices, which use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, may get extremely hot, spark, or catch on fire if not properly stored, charged, or used with its Abbott provided USB cable and power adapter. They are indicated for single patient use, and require a prescription. These devices help people manage diabetes by detecting trends and tracking patterns in glucose levels so treatment can be adjusted as needed. The FreeStyle Libre, Libre 14 day, and Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring Systems are intended to provide continuous monitoring of glucose levels.
