Product details

Before starting a sensor

Start the sensor with the device you intend to use for that sensor session. Abbott states that a FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor cannot be used with the reader and app at the same time; switching reading devices requires a new sensor. Follow the instructions supplied with your reader and sensor.

For alarms to work, enable the appropriate settings and keep the sensor within 33 feet of the reader with an unobstructed connection. Charge the reader when its low-battery alert appears.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with Libre 3 Plus sensors?

Is a sensor included?

No. This listing is for the reader; purchase compatible sensors separately.

Can I share historical readings with my care team?

Reader data can be uploaded to LibreView from a computer using a USB cable. LibreView helps review historical data and does not replace professional medical advice.

Important use information

This is a prescription medical device for single-person use. Use it as directed by your healthcare professional and the manufacturer.
