were linked to seven deaths and more than 700 injuries.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:21.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:18.0pt">
<span style="color:#222222">"If undetected, incorrect low glucose readings over an extended period may lead to incorrect treatment decisions for people living with diabetes, such as excessive carbohydrate intake or skipping or delaying insulin doses," <a href="https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/freestyle-librer-3-plus-sensor-kit" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0550c8">Health

<span style="color:#222222">Serious health risks, including potential injury or death, or other less serious complications, can result from those decisions, the Canadian regulator said.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:21.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:18.0pt">

<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:21.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:18.0pt">
<span style="color:#222222">The sensors are devices that measure glucose levels in fluid just beneath the skin to provide real-time measurements of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. Information from the sensor is sent wirelessly to a device or phone.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="color:#222222">About half those devices have expired or been used, the company added. As of Nov. 14, the company reported seven deaths worldwide and 736 serious adverse events. No deaths occurred in the U.S., where 57 injuries were reported.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
