Important Safety Information

Indications for Use

The FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System Reader (“Reader”)

when used with a FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System

Sensor (“Sensor”) is indicated for measuring interstitial uid glucose levels

in people (age 4 and older) with diabetes mellitus, including pregnant

women. The Reader and Sensor are designed to replace blood glucose

testing in the self-management of diabetes, including dosing of insulin.

The indication for children (age 4 - 12) is limited to those who are

supervised by a caregiver who is at least 18 years of age. The caregiver is

responsible for managing or assisting the child to manage the Reader and

Sensor and also for interpreting or assisting the child to interpret Sensor

glucose readings.

Contraindications

The Sensor must be removed prior to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

WARNING:

• Do not ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood

glucose. If you have symptoms that do not match the Sensor glucose

reading or suspect that your reading may be inaccurate, check the

reading by conducting a ngerstick test using a blood glucose meter.

If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your

glucose readings, consult your health care professional.

• The FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System (“System”)

contains small parts that may be dangerous if swallowed.

Cautions and Important System Information:

What the System has not been evaluated for:

• The System has not been evaluated for use with other implanted medical

devices such as pacemakers.

• The System has not been evaluated for use in persons on dialysis or

people less than 4 years of age.

How to store the Sensor:

• Store the Sensor Kit between 4°C and 25°C. While you don’t need to keep

your Sensor Kit in a refrigerator, you can as long as the refrigerator is

between 4°C and 25°C.

When is Sensor Glucose dierent from Blood Glucose:

• Glucose levels in the interstitial uid can be dierent from blood glucose

levels and may mean that Sensor glucose readings are dierent from

blood glucose. You may notice this dierence during times when your

blood glucose is changing quickly, for example after eating, taking

insulin, or exercising.

When to remove the Sensor:

• On rare occasions, you may get inaccurate Sensor glucose readings.

If you believe your glucose readings are not correct or do not match

how you feel, perform a blood glucose test on your nger to conrm

your glucose. If the problem continues, remove your Sensor and apply

a new one.

• Some individuals may be sensitive to the adhesive that keeps the

Sensor attached to the skin. If you notice signicant skin irritation around or

under your Sensor, remove the Sensor and stop using the System.

Contact your health care professional before continuing to use the System.

• If you have a medical appointment that includes strong magnetic

or electromagnetic radiation, for example an X-ray, MRI (Magnetic

Resonance Imaging), or CT (Computed Tomography) scan, remove the

Sensor you are wearing and apply a new one after the appointment.

The eect of these types of procedures on the performance of the

system has not been evaluated.

What to know about wearing the Sensor:

• Do not reuse Sensors. The Sensor and Sensor Applicator are designed for

single use. Reuse may result in no glucose readings and infection. Not

suitable for re-sterilisation. Further exposure to irradiation may cause

inaccurate results.

What to know about Glucose Alarms:

• For you to receive alarms, they must be turned ON and you should

ensure that your Reader is within 6 metres (20 ft) of you at all times. The

transmission range is 6 metres (20 ft) unobstructed. If you are out of

range, you may not receive glucose alarms.

• To prevent missed alarms, make sure the Reader has sucient charge

and that sound and/or vibration are turned on.

What to know about the Reader’s Built-in Meter:

• The Reader is designed to be used only with FreeStyle Optium blood

glucose and blood ketone test strips and MediSense control solution.

• The Reader is for use by a single person. It must not be used on

more than one person including other family members due to the

risk of spreading infection. All parts of the Reader are considered

biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious diseases, even

after cleaning the Reader.

• Avoid getting dust, dirt, blood, control solution, water or other

substances in the Reader’s USB and test strip ports.

Your System comes in a Reader Kit and a Sensor Kit. When opening your

kits, check that the contents are undamaged and that you have all parts

listed. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Customer Service.

IMPORTANT: Safety information about the

System is in this User’s Manual. Read all of

the information in the User’s Manual and the

FreeStyle Optium blood glucose and ketone

test strip instructions for use before using

your System.

Getting to Know Your System

The FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System (“System”) has

two main parts: a handheld Reader and a disposable Sensor that you

wear on your body. You use the Reader to wirelessly scan the Sensor and

Step

Action

Apply Sensors only on the back of your upper

arm. Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks,

or lumps.

Select an area of skin that generally stays at

during your normal daily activities (no bending

or folding). Choose a site that is at least 2.5 cm

(1 inch) away from an insulin injection site. To

prevent discomfort or skin irritation, you should

select a dierent site other than the one most

recently used.

Wash application site using a plain soap, dry, and

then clean with an alcohol wipe. This will help

remove any oily residue that may prevent the

Sensor from sticking properly. Allow site to air

dry before proceeding.

Note: The area MUST be clean and dry, or the

Sensor may not stick to the site.

Using Your Sensor

CAUTION:

• The Sensor Pack and Sensor Applicator are packaged as a

set (separately from the Reader) and have the same Sensor

code. Check that the Sensor codes match

before using your Sensor Pack and Sensor

Applicator. Sensor Packs and Sensor

Applicators with the same Sensor code

should be used together or your Sensor

glucose readings may be incorrect.

• Intense exercise may cause your Sensor

to loosen due to sweat or movement of the

Sensor. If your Sensor comes loose, you may get no

readings or unreliable readings, which may not match how

you feel. Follow the instructions to select an appropriate

application site.

IMPORTANT: What to know about glucose alarms

• Scan your Sensor often to check your glucose. If you get a

Low or High Glucose Alarm, you must obtain a glucose

result to determine what to do next.

• The Low and High Glucose Alarms should not be used

exclusively to detect low or high glucose conditions. The

glucose alarms should always be used along with your

current glucose, glucose trend arrow, and glucose graph.

• Low and High Glucose Alarm levels are dierent from your

Target Glucose Range values. Low and High Glucose Alarms

tell you when your glucose has passed the level you set

in the alarm. Your Target Glucose Range is displayed on

glucose graphs on the Reader and used to calculate your

Time In Target.

Alarms

When in range of the Reader, your Sensor automatically communicates

with the Reader to give you Low and High Glucose Alarms if you turn

them ON. These alarms are turned OFF by default.

This section explains how to turn on and set alarms as well as how to use

them. Please read all the information in this section before setting and

using alarms.

CAUTION:

• For you to receive alarms, they must be turned ON and you

should ensure that your Reader is within 6 metres (20 ft) of

you at all times. The transmission range is 6 metres (20 ft)

unobstructed. If you are out of range, you may not receive

glucose alarms.

• To prevent missed alarms, make sure the Reader has sucient

charge and that sound and/or vibration are turned on.
