Sette pazienti diabetici muoiono a causa di un bug non rivelato nei rilevatori proprietari di glucosio prodotti da #Abbott
Probabilmente non sapremo mai se il problema fosse hardware o software. La divulgazione del bug è incredibilmente vaga e non è ancora chiaro quante indagini siano state condotte (se ce ne sono state) dalle autorità di regolamentazione governative su questo problema.

Did you know that #Abbott caused the deaths of seven diabetics this year?
Some of Abbott's continuous glucose monitors (ironically named the #FreeStyle #Libre 3 Plus) incorrectly reported low blood sugar — a grave & dangerous error for insulin-dependent #diabetes. I fortunately wasn't injured, but Abbott's refusal to allow public examination the technical details of their devices is tantamount to a cover-up.

Abbott warnt vor fehlerhaften Sensoren: Blutzuckersensoren melden falsche Werte
Der US-amerikanische Hersteller Abbott warnt Kunden per Mail vor fehlerhaften Blutzuckersensoren. Die Geräte liefern zu niedrige Werte.
@heiseonline Auf jeden Lieferschein von Abbott werden die Seriennummern der gelieferten Sensoren aufgeführt. Abbott weiß also genau, wer die defekten Sensoren bekommen hat. Aber es wird natürlich gehofft, dass ein Teil der defekten Sensoren bereits verbraucht wurde. Deshalb darf man jetzt Buchstaben- und Zahlenkombinationen eintippen. So richtig genau sind die sowieso alle nicht. Blutige Kontrollmessungen nach dem Anbringen eines neues Sensors sind daher Pflicht. #cgm #abbott
