WARNING: The System can replace blood glucose testing except in a few situations . These are the times when you need to do a blood glucose test before deciding what to do or what treatment decision to make as Sensor readings may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels:
Do a blood glucose test if you see the Check Blood Glucose symbol . The means your Sensor glucose reading may not be accurate . For example, there may be times when you get a low glucose reading but you do not actually have low glucose . symbol Do a blood glucose test if you think your glucose readings are not correct or do not match how you feel . Do not ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high glucose . Note: The situation . symbol will NOT appear in this 33 Making Treatment Decisions Getting Started Before you start using the System for treatment decisions, make sure you have a good understanding of how the System works for your body . Continue to use your blood glucose meter for treatment decisions until you are comfortable with the information you receive from your System. This includes understanding that: Sensor performance can vary in between Sensors, within a Sensor wear, and in different situations . Getting familiar with the System could take days, weeks, or even months . The more you check readings from the System with a blood glucose meter, the better you will understand how the System works for you . Work with your health care professional to put together a plan for managing your diabetes that includes when to use the System information for making treatment decisions . Helpful Tips Confirm your Sensor glucose readings with a blood glucose meter until you understand:
Sensor accuracy may vary between Sensors . Sensor accuracy may vary during a Sensor wear session . Sensor accuracy may vary in different situations (meals, exercise, first day of use, etc .) Scan your Sensor often to see how carbs, medication, exercise, illness, or stress levels impact your Sensor glucose readings . The information you get can help you figure out why your glucose sometimes goes too high or too low, and how to prevent it from doing so in the future . 34 DOC40395_rev-A_manual.indd 33-34 10/23/18 1:16 PM Talk to your health care professional about how your insulin works . The more you understand about your insulin, including how long it takes to start working and how long it lasts in your body, the more likely you will be to make better treatment decisions . Making a treatment decision doesnt just mean taking insulin . Treatment decisions can also include things like taking fast-acting carbs, eating, or even doing nothing and scanning again later . Your health care professional can also help you to understand when doing nothing and scanning again later is the right treatment decision . For example, if your glucose is high and going up, your first instinct may be to take more insulin to lower your glucose, however depending on when you last took insulin or your recent activity, the right treatment decision may be to do nothing and scan again later . Avoid insulin stacking . When not to use Sensor Glucose readings for treatment decisions Glucose is Falling Quickly or Rising Quickly Sensor glucose values, which are based on interstitial fluid glucose levels, can be different from blood glucose levels (fingersticks), particularly during times when your blood glucose is changing quickly . For example after eating, taking insulin, or exercising . When glucose levels are falling quickly, glucose readings from the Sensor may be higher than blood glucose levels . On the other hand, when glucose levels are rising quickly, glucose readings from the Sensor may be lower than blood glucose levels . 35 DOC40395_rev-A_manual.indd 35-36 If glucose is rising quickly or falling quickly, you will see the Whenever you see the based on that result . symbol, do a blood glucose test and treat symbol .

Whenever you see the symbol, do a blood glucose During the first 12 hours of wearing a Sensor During the first 12 hours of wearing a Sensor, you should not use glucose readings from the Sensor to make treatment decisions . You will see the symbol displayed during this time, and whenever you see the symbol, do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result . Think Your Readings are Incorrect?
Dont trust Sensor glucose readings that you think may be incorrect or that dont match what you would expect based on your recent activity . For example, if you ate dinner but forgot to take insulin before eating, you would expect your glucose to be high . If your glucose reading is low, then it doesnt match your recent activity, so dont use it to make treatment decisions . Dont make treatment decisions if you think your Sensor glucose readings are incorrect . Do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result . 37 DOC40395_rev-A_manual.indd 37-38 You Have Low or High Blood Glucose Symptoms Dont ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose . Do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result . Symptoms Dont Match Readings There may be times when your symptoms dont match your Sensor glucose readings . For example, you are feeling shaky, sweaty, and dizzy symptoms you generally get when you have low glucose, but your glucose reading is within your target range . When symptoms dont match readings, do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result . Dont ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose . If youre the caregiver, pay attention to times when the symptoms of the one youre caring for dont match their Sensor glucose readings . When symptoms dont match readings, do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result . Note: The When to do Nothing and Scan Again Later Your health care professional can help you understand when doing nothing and scanning again later is the right treatment decision . For example, if your glucose is high and going up, your first instinct may be to take more insulin to lower your glucose, however depending on when you last took insulin or your recent activity, the right treatment decision may be to do nothing and scan again later . Dont take a correction dose within 2 hours of your meal dose . This may result in insulin stacking and low glucose . symbol will NOT display in these situations . 38 10/23/18 1:16 PM Making Treatment Decisions Advanced After you scan your Sensor, use all of the information on the screen when deciding what to do or what treatment decision to make.

* Security measures: The communication between the Reader and Sensor during a scan is a short range Near Field Communication (NFC) method which makes it difficult to interfere with or intercept during transmission. The transmitted data is protected by a proprietary data format, encryption, and memory map. The integrity of transmitted data is ensured by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) generated by the Sensor and verified by the Reader. The communication between the Reader and Sensor for Alarm data is a standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection. The pairing of the Sensor to the Reader is accomplished during activation with an authenticated login procedure that uses an Out-of-band key exchange (NFC). This prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to the Sensor. The transmitted data has a range of 20 feet and is protected by a proprietary data format and encryption. This prevents unauthorized devices from accessing the data if they are within range and intercept the transmission. The BLE communication uses a 2 second connection interval. Under normal operation, the industry standard BLE protocols allow for many users to be in the same vicinity. In the case where the connection is lost due to out-of-range or interference, reconnection is only possible with the authenticated Reader that activated the Sensor. Quality of Service (QoS): QoS for the FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader and Sensor wireless communications using NFC is assured within the effective range of 4 cm between the Sensor and Reader that is specified to occur within 15 seconds. QoS for the wireless communication using BLE is assured within the effective range of 20 feet, unobstructed, between the Reader and Sensor at regular 1-minute intervals. If connection is lost between the Reader and Sensor for 5-minutes, the connection lost symbol displays. If connection is lost for 20 minutes, the Reader alarms the user if the alarm is turned on. If connection is lost between the Sensor and the Reader, up to 8 hours of glucose results can be retrieved by performing a scan with the Reader. The Reader is designed to only accept radio frequency (RF) communications from recognized and paired Sensors. 117 DOC40395_rev-A_manual.indd 117-118 Labeling Symbols Consult instructions for use Use-by date Temperature limit Catalog number Manufacturer Serial number Batch code Keep dry Type BF applied part Non-ionizing radiation CODE Sensor code Caution Do not re-use Sterilized using irradiation MR unsafe Humidity limitation FCC Declaration of Conformity mark Contains FCC ID:

Performance Characteristics Clinical Study Overview Performance of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System (the System) was evaluated in a clinical study. The study was conducted at 4 centers with a total of 95 subjects with diabetes
(84.2% Type 1, 15.8% Type 2). All subjects were aged eighteen and older. Subjects in the study required insulin to manage their diabetes. Each subject wore up to two Sensors on the back of the upper arm. During the study, subjects tested their blood glucose using fingerstick capillary samples at least eight times during each day of the study. Subjects used the blood glucose meter built into the Reader. Additionally, subjects had their venous blood glucose analyzed up to 112 times over four separate visits to the clinical center. Venous blood was analyzed using the Yellow Springs Instrument Life Sciences 2300 STAT Plus Glucose & Lactate Analyzer (YSI). YSI is a laboratory glucose and lactate analyzer of whole blood and plasma and is a widely recognized standard in laboratory analysis of blood glucose. Glucose readings obtained from the System were compared to glucose readings obtained from the YSI to evaluate the performance of the System. Three lots of Sensors were evaluated in the study. Agreement with YSI Levels Agreement between the System Glucose Measurement (CGM) and venous blood was characterized by using paired CGM and Yellow Springs Instrument measurements (YSI). The accuracy of CGM versus YSI reference was assessed by calculating the percentage of System readings that were within 15%, 20%, 30% and 40% for reference values 80 mg/dL and above, and 15 mg/dL, 20 mg/dL, 30 mg/dL and 40 mg/dL for values below 80 mg/dL when glucose levels are assigned using the YSI values. Overall 90.7% of results were within 20 mg/dL / 20% of YSI reference. 119 DOC40395_rev-A_manual.indd 119-120 120 10/23/18 1:16 PM Agreement with CGM Glucose Levels Agreement between CGM and venous blood was characterized by using paired CGM and Yellow Springs Instrument measurements (YSI).

The absolute relative difference measures the level of disagreement between the System and the reference value, but does not tell you whether the System glucose value was, on average, higher or lower than the reference glucose value. The Mean Absolute Relative Difference gives an indication of the average percent disagreement between the CGM and the reference. Table 3 shows the overall absolute difference measure. Overall the Mean Absolute Relative Difference was 9.4% for the comparison with YSI reference. The Median Absolute Relative Difference shows that half of the time the System was within 7.4% of the YSI reference.

Table 14 provides data from two separate Sensors worn on 95 subjects at the same time, providing 15,283 real-time pairs of CGM measurements, with a mean CV of 5.6%. Table 14: Overall between Sensor Precision Mean Glucose
(mg/dL) Median CV Mean CV Number of Subjects Number of Paired Readings 164.2 4.2 5.6 95 15283 Sensor Wear Duration The Sensor can be worn for up to 14 days. To estimate how long a Sensor will work over the wear duration, 190 Sensors were evaluated in the clinical study to determine how many days of readings each Sensor provided. Of these 190 Sensors, 136 (71.6%) lasted until the final day of use. 168 Sensors
(88.4%) lasted at least 7 days. There were 54 (28.4%) Sensors that failed early, of which 22 (11.6%) failed on or before the seventh day of wear. Adverse Events No device related serious adverse events occurred during the study. Mild skin irritations, such as erythema, bruising, bleeding, infection and papule were reported around the insertion site and adhesive area by a small number of subjects (8 out of 95 or 8.4%). Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) The System needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this manual. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the System. The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified by Abbott Diabetes Care may result in increased EMISSIONS or decreased IMMUNITY of the System. The System should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the System should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not approved by Abbott could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 137 DOC40395_rev-A_manual.indd 137-138 138 10/23/18 1:16 PM Guidance and manufacturers declaration electromagnetic emissions The System is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
