My scan appointment made me check my Libre instructions again

I have been using FreeStyle Libre and recently started looking into what happens if I need an MRI or CT scan.

I noticed that instructions can change depending on the exact Libre model, and I am not sure how people keep track of the latest guidance for their sensor, reader, or phone app.

For people who have gone through imaging while wearing Libre, how did you find the correct instructions? Did your healthcare team check the model details before the scan?

I'm interested in hearing how others handle these situations because it seems like the exact device version matters.

I learned that checking the exact model is important. I originally thought all Libre sensors had the same rules, but that was not always the case.
