“Dexcom G7 CGM App: Missing Sensor Failure Alerts Risk Hyperglycemia.” GovInfoNow, updated August 17, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/51741-dexcom-g7-cgm-app-missing-sensor-failure-alerts-risk-hyperglycemia. Based on FDA recall #Z-2446-2025 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-2446-2025%22&limit=1).

The FDA announced on July 24, 2025, that Dexcom, Inc. is voluntarily recalling the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and Dexcom ONE+ CGM System apps due to a hazard involving missed glucose alerts. The recall affects app versions 2.8.0 or earlier for Android and iOS/watchOS platforms.

How to tell if you have it

  • Dexcom G7 CGM Android App, Model SW12299, version 2.8.0 or earlier
  • Dexcom G7 CGM iOS App, version 2.8.0 or earlier
  • Dexcom ONE+ CGM Android App, version 1.4.0 or earlier
  • Dexcom ONE+ CGM iOS App, version 1.4.0 or earlier

The hazard

The affected apps do not provide an expected "Sensor Failed" alert when a transmitter sends a "transmitterFailed" error message during hardware or firmware failure. Instead, the app ends the sensor session and displays a "Start Sensor" screen or "No active sensor" message without alerting the user, which can lead to missed detection of hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic events and delayed treatment.
