We have had many families contacting us recently requesting early delivery of sensors due to going on holiday, or asking when or how to report failed or faulty sensors. It is important to report any issues with sensors, so you do not find yourself short of supplies before the next delivery.
We have contacted the companies for clarity and information is listed below:
