Urgent Product Defect Correction: Android FreeStyle LibreLink app on Android 13 operating system (OS)

Published:

TGA Reference: RC-2023-RN-00127-1
ARTG: 363331

Abbott has recently discovered that when using smartphones with the Android 13 operating system, users may experience extended periods of signal loss in the FreeStyle LibreLink app. In these situations, users of glucose alarms may not receive low glucose and high glucose alarms. This does not impact the ability to get glucose readings by scanning the sensor.

Abbott advises that if you have not installed Android 13 OS, to consider waiting until the FreeStyle LibreLink app update becomes available in the coming weeks.
