Manufacturer
1 recall in our database name Ascensia Diabetes Care US, Inc. as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 1 recalls from Ascensia Diabetes Care US, Inc. we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
Ascensia is recalling blood glucose meters that display measurements in mmol/L instead of mg/dL. If not caught, the incorrect unit may cause patients to misread their glucose levels with serious health consequences.
