Libre 2 US Approval Was Worth the Wait for Abbott, but Not Its Pump Partners
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Abbott announced FDA approval of the Libre 2 iCGM in patients 4 years of age and older; however, the initial approval comes without closed-loop compatibility. According to FDA's 510(k) database, Libre 2 was approved on Friday, June 12, but FDA typically doesn't update the database until Monday. Recall, Libre 2 approval had been delayed for undisclosed reasons, but FENIX recently anticipated a near-term US approval with the closure of Bigfoot’s Series C (previous FENIX insight). Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the Libre 2 approval, a comparative analysis with the Dexcom G6, and potential implications to other CGM manufacturers including Medtronic, Senseonics, Lifescan, Waveform, and Nemaura.
