Important Safety Information

Indications for Use

The FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System is indicated
for measuring interstitial fluid glucose levels in adults aged 18 years
and older . It is designed to replace blood glucose testing in the
self-management of diabetes with the exceptions listed below .
Under the following circumstances, use a blood glucose meter
to check the current glucose readings from the FreeStyle Libre Flash
Glucose Monitoring System Sensor:
•
During times of rapidly changing glucose levels, interstitial glucose
levels as measured by the Sensor and reported as current may not
accurately reflect blood glucose levels . When glucose levels are falling
rapidly, glucose readings from the Sensor may be higher than blood
glucose levels . Conversely when glucose levels are rising rapidly,
glucose readings from the Sensor may be lower than blood glucose
levels .
•
In order to confirm hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia as
reported by the Sensor .
•
If symptoms do not match the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose
Monitoring System reading . Do not ignore symptoms that may be
due to low blood glucose or high blood glucose .
