PRODUCT DETAILS

Description:

The Freestyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System is a device used for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in people with diabetes. It’s designed to provide real-time glucose data to help individuals manage their blood sugar levels more effectively. It is compatible with smartphones. You can set low and high glucose level alerts, which can notify you if your glucose levels fall below or rise above your target range.

Uses:

It is used by diabetic patients to monitor blood glucose level.

Features:

• Flash glucose monitoring: FreeStyle Libre sensor monitoring devices are flash glucose monitoring (FGM) devices. This means that users need to scan the sensor with a smartphone or dedicated reader to get glucose readings. The sensor does not transmit data wirelessly, which saves battery life and makes the system more affordable.
• Long sensor wear time: FreeStyle Libre sensor monitoring device sensors can be worn for up to 14 days. This makes them a convenient option for people who need to monitor their glucose levels for long periods of time.
• Water resistance: FreeStyle Libre sensor monitoring device sensors are water resistant up to 1 meter (3 feet) for 30 minutes. This means that users can wear the sensor while swimming, showering, or bathing.
• Small sensor size: FreeStyle Libre sensor monitoring device sensors are small and discreet, measuring about the size of a two-stacked US quarter.
• Smartphone compatibility: FreeStyle Libre sensor monitoring devices can be used with a smartphone to scan the sensor and get glucose readings. This makes them a convenient option for people who are always on the go.

How to use:

1. Apply the sensor. The sensor is applied to the back of the upper arm using a disposable applicator. The applicator is very easy to use, and the sensor application process is quick and painless.
2. Wait for the sensor to warm up. Once the sensor is applied, it needs to warm up for 1 hour before you can start scanning it.
3. Scan the sensor. To scan the sensor, you can use the FreeStyle Libre reader or the FreeStyle LibreLink app on your smartphone. To scan the sensor with the reader, simply hold the reader up to the sensor. To scan the sensor with the app, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. View your glucose results. Once you have scanned the sensor, you will see your current glucose reading on the reader or app screen. You will also be able to see your glucose trends and patterns over time.

• Apply the sensor to a clean and dry area of skin.
• Avoid applying the sensor to areas with scars, moles, or tattoos.
• Apply the sensor to a flat area of skin.
• Do not bend or fold the sensor.
