Thank you for your interest in this special program. We are proud to be able to support and serve you in this special time of need. We have two options available for you. If you are a non-profit hospital we may be able to assist you with our partnership with Insulin for Life and supply your facility with these much needed devices at no cost to you. If you are not a non-profit facility we have a means for you to procure these devices as well. Before we proceed, we want to make you aware of some important information regarding this special program:
IMPORTANT: THIS PROGRAM IS INTENDED FOR INPATIENT USE ONLY
Hospitals should consider whether they have the resources and expertise necessary to adequately implement FreeStyle Libre 14 day system use in their facility and provide appropriate training to healthcare providers.
The FreeStyle Libre 14 day system should only be used in patients able to perform glucose scans themselves.
FreeStyle Libre 14 day glucose results are less accurate than blood glucose results obtained using traditional testing methods (e.g., lab glucose, blood glucose meters) in hospital settings. Users should consider all FreeStyle Libre 14 day glucose information (e.g., trend) along with individual glucose values, and interpret FreeStyle Libre 14 day results in the context of the full clinical picture.
The FreeStyle Libre 14 day sensor is subject to interferences that may generate falsely high and falsely low glucose readings. Levels of interference depend on drug concentration; substances that may not significantly interfere in non-hospitalized patients may interfere when used in the hospital setting because of higher dose levels. Most drugs used in hospital or critical care settings have not been evaluated and their interference with the FreeStyle Libre 14 day system is unknown. Known interferences include a significant positive bias due to high doses of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and a slight negative bias when taking salicylic acid (used in some pain relievers such as aspirin). Other reducing drugs/ compounds may also interfere.
Poor peripheral blood perfusion may cause inaccurate sensor readings. FreeStyle Libre 14 day results should be interpreted considering accompanying patient conditions and medications. Other clinical conditions may also cause inaccurate readings.
