Dexcom G7 iOS app recalled for delayed glucose alerts and notifications
Dexcom G7 iOS app recalled for delayed glucose alerts
A software defect in the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitoring app (versions 2.9.0–2.11.2 for iOS) can delay glucose value updates and alerts when the app runs in the background. When you open the app, notifications may replay in sequence or show outdated readings. In some cases, the app may incorrectly detect signal loss, creating a risk that users could miss high or low blood sugar alerts or make treatment decisions based on outdated information.
- Update your Dexcom G7 iOS app to version 2.11.3 or later from the Apple App Store
- If you cannot update immediately, keep the app open and active on your device when possible
- Contact Dexcom support if you experience missed alerts or delayed glucose readings
A software defect in which a low-priority file I/O check blocks the higher-priority thread responsible for processing estimated glucose values (EGVs) and trend arrows. When the app is running in the background, EGV notifications may queue up and then "replay" sequentially when the user brings the app to the foreground, causing the Glucose Compass to flicker through previous EGVs. In more severe instances, the app may perceive signal loss and deploy signal loss mitigations. This delay in EGV and alert processing creates a risk that users may miss detection of a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event, or make treatment decisions based on outdated glucose information.
