It's a stretch to go from "associated with 7 deaths" to "killed 7 people". These devices are worn by millions. So coincidental deaths will happen irrespective of causality.
Would be good to have more details on the cases. Kind of hard to see how low readings would cause deaths. You eat, then notice things don't go up, then do a finger stick test and notice it's off.
To die you'd have to end up with ketoacidosis - there are ways to notice. Sure it's bad to have falsely low values but very unlikely to kill.
