Nipro meter recall

November 4, 2013

Nipro Australia has announced the recall of some models of its TRUEtrack and TRUEbalance blood glucose meters, which are being replaced with updated devices. The products are mainly used for self testing by patients with diabetes, and the recall follows notification that a small number of the meters may have been incorrectly calibrated with the wrong unit of measure. A miscalibrated meter would use mg/dL instead of mmol/L, which is the standard unit used here. There had been no reports of adverse events related to the issue in Australia as at 23 Oct 2013. Pharmacies which supply the meters are being advised to check the lot numbers of any devices in stock, with further information available by calling 1800 451 737. A full list of the affected serial numbers can be accessed by CLICKING HERE.
