Waterproof Your Freestyle Libre Sensor with an Adhesive Patch

Freestyle Libre Sensor is only water resistant – NOT waterproof!

According to Abbott, the manufacturer of the Freestyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, the freestyle libre 2 or 3 sensors are protected with an IP27 water resistance rating that allows the users to shower, bathe, and swim.

However, there is a clear distinction between water resistant and waterproof!

Freestyle libre sensors come with several limitations when it comes to water including depth and time span. According to the guidelines, the Libre will continue to function as long as it is submerged in water:

• no deeper than 3 feet (1 meter)
• no longer than 30 minutes
• in temperature ranging from 50°F to 113°F (10°C to 45°C)

There are also several other factors that can impact the performance of the Freestyle Libre sensor during activities in any body of water, including but not limited:

• water quality: fresh, chlorinated or ocean water
• temperature: hot vs. cold
• external force: wild waters, water parks, or high intensity water sports

Freestyle guidelines warns against the above limitations in order to keep the sensor operational while being in a body of water.

How to waterproof your sensor

The worst scenario in during water activities such as swimming in the pool or the ocean is to loose your sensor. So, the first step to prevent the sensor from falling off is to secure your sensor to your arm. Next, you want to make sure to prevent any penetration of water into your sensor.

You can accomplish both by covering your sensor with an adhesive, waterproof patch. MirTouch Freestyle Libre Adhesive Patches are highly adhesive tapes specifically designed to secure and waterproof your Libre 1 (14 day), 2 or 3 sensor, delivering an unparalleled peace of mind.
