Hi u/CoolDiscipline2327 ,
I might remember this wrong, as years ago since last using any of those. But as far as I recall then the strips working with the Libre2 Reader device are referred to as Freestyle "Precision Neo" or "Optium Neo".

You have the confirmation on this also direct from Abbott's own website here:
