  • There is no waiting period after a CT-scan or X-ray to be able to safely use the FreeStyle Libre system sensor.
  • MRI conditions: Depending on the type of  MRI procedure and scan required, there is potential for the accuracy and functionality to be compromised, so it is best to wait 1 hour following MRI exposure to ensure the FreeStyle Libre systems sensor is operating normally. After 1 hour, the accuracy and functionality of the device is not compromised.
