Drug Delivery Business News, reports today that the FDA cleared the removal of the imaging contradiction for the FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) for procedures like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. Abbott said it makes its systems the first and only patient-applied CGM sensors approved for these screenings.
Imaging procedures often come as part of diabetes care, Abbott said, especially as diabetes can cause a number of medical complications. The company rigorously tested its Libre 2 and 3 sensors to ensure they remain effective after radiologic procedures. This FDA clearance comes with no changes made to the sensor, too.
