Plain-English summary
Roche Diabetes Care, Inc. is recalling 295,248 units of Accu-Chek Inform II Test Strips, Catalog no. 05942861001. The recall involves Lot 476340, which was distributed nationwide in the United States and to numerous foreign countries.

These strips have an increased potential for errors before a blood sample is applied, failure to be detected by the meter once inserted, or the production of biased results that may not be detectable. If a biased result occurs, users might take incorrect actions based on the displayed blood glucose value rather than the actual value.
Consumers should stop using the affected test strips and contact Roche Diabetes Care for instructions on how to return the product or obtain a replacement. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
