Plain-English summary
Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. is recalling the FreeStyle Precision H Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System. The recall involves all lots of the device. The products were distributed in the District of Columbia and 30 states, including California, Florida, New York, and Texas.
The recall was initiated because instructions for disinfecting the meters and for using them with multiple patients were distributed without clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The devices were not cleared for multiple-patient use. Following these unapproved instructions could result in inappropriate disinfection or improper handling of contaminated meters, which may cause infection or worsen an existing infection.
Consumers should stop using the device if they have received these specific instructions. They should contact Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. for further guidance on how to proceed.
