MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program
LifeScan, Inc, initiated a worldwide notification to all users of its
OneTouch Ultra, InDuo and OneTouch FastTake Meters. LifeScan found that it
was possible for consumers, in the course of setting their meter's date and
time, to accidentally change the unit of measure and thereby misinterpret
their blood glucose results. The notification program includes letters to
registered users and health care professionals, and also special
instructions inserted in each package of test strips. The products are
distributed worldwide primarily through retail pharmacy and mail order
channels.
Read the complete MedWatch 2005 Safety summary, including the link to the
firm press release, at:
Proper Recognition and Thanks to Medwatch for this information (R. Gould)
The link is an interesting one.
Best to all----
Ron
