Abbott Diabetes Care recalls FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors with specific serial numbers due to potential carbon buildup causing incorrect low glucose readings. Affected units may need replacement.
Due to a manufacturing process issue that may cause carbon build up in the sensor that may result in incorrect low glucose results
Abbott Diabetes Care is recalling FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors with specific serial numbers because a manufacturing issue may cause carbon buildup that leads to incorrect low glucose readings. This could result in unsafe blood sugar levels if the sensor is used without proper calibration.
The sensor may develop carbon buildup during manufacturing, which can cause inaccurate low glucose readings. This could lead to users taking unnecessary corrective actions or missing critical high glucose levels, but the risk of serious injury is low because the issue is detectable through regular sensor checks.
People with diabetes who use the FreeStyle Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System with the affected sensor model. Those most at risk are individuals who rely on the sensor for frequent glucose monitoring without regular checks.

Review the serial numbers listed in the recall notice to determine if your sensor is affected. The affected sensors have model number 78768-01 and UDI-DI code 00357599844011.
If your sensor is affected, replace it with a new sensor from Abbott Diabetes Care to ensure accurate glucose readings.
