Dexcom G7 glucose sensors recalled for infection and malfunction risks
Dexcom G7 sensors recalled for infection and accuracy risks
Certain lots of Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitoring sensors that were designated for destruction were stolen and later sold to pharmacies and distributors without authorization. Two affected lots have different risks: one was not properly sterilized and poses an infection risk, and the other may not provide accurate readings or detect dangerous blood sugar levels.
- Check your Dexcom G7 sensor packaging for lot number 1725204004 or 1725069002
- If you have either lot, stop using the sensor and contact Dexcom or your healthcare provider
- Do not discard the sensor; keep it to return to your pharmacy or Dexcom
Certain lots of Dexcom G7 sensors originally designated as scrap and intended for destruction were stolen during the destruction process. The sensors were later sold to pharmacies and distributors by Pharmsource, LLC. Lot 1725204004 were designated for destruction because the G7 sensors were not properly sterilized and have an increased risk of skin infection if used. Lot 1725069002 were designated for destruction due to an increased risk of having no sensor readings available or experiencing sensor inaccuracy that includes the potential for missed detection of a hyperglycemic event or incorrect treatment decisions that can result in patient injury, including medical intervention to prevent permanent injury or impairment. Additionally, due to the unknown storage and handling and storage conditions these sensors may have undergone during the distribution, these sensors may present additional risk.
