Why these products were recalled

The recalling firm has identified two lots of test strips that are out of specification. Affected test strips show an increased potential for: strip errors prior to applying a blood sample; strips not detected once inserted; or a biased result may occur, which may not be detectable. In the case of a biased result, incorrect action could be taken by the user in response to the displayed blood glucose result as compared to the actual blood glucose value.

The recalling firm identified four US lots of test strips out of specification. Affected strips show increased potential for strip errors prior to applying blood, strips not detected once inserted, or biased results, which may not be detectable. In the case of a biased result, incorrect action could be taken by the user in response to the displayed blood glucose result.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
