3,929 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus Sensor" (flash glucose monitoring system); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Abbott Diabetes Care; received from July 2024 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

2,799 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 149% from 1,123 in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (99.9%) and injury (0.1%); across all integrated continuous glucose monitoring system, factory calibrated reports (product code QBJ) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 98.1%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The patient problems coded most often are convulsion/seizure and hypoglycemia. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
