One Touch Verio recall

June 17, 2011

A CONSUMER level recall has been announced for Life Scan One Touch Verio Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems, with the TGA warning that in some cases patients may not get a blood glucose result. The TGA says that as of 20 May the manufacturer had received 186 complaints - almost all from Australia - about repeated ‘error 2’ warning messages when the selftesting systems are used in conditions of high temperature and/or humidity. The products are supplied locally by Johnson and Johnson Medical, which has today advertised the recall in all States and Territories. Apparently there’s a problem caused by contamination occurring across the Strip Port Connector pins of the meter, due to the use of incorrect solder wire. The recalled meters were made between Aug-Dec 2010, and patients using the Life Scan One Touch Verio meters are advised to call 1800 543 372 for more info. Affected meters will be replaced with a working model at no cost.
