In the last two years, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued more than 20 different Class I High Risk recalls for diabetic test meters. Class I recalls are for dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
Many of the recalled diabetic test meters could fail or provide false results, leading to possible mismanagement of diabetes. "Accuracy is the most important feature of diabetic test meters," said Lorne Yaffe, Vice President of American Diabetes Services. "Anyone who is concerned about the reliability of their meter should visit us at http://www.americandiabetes.com or call us at 1-800-933-8085 to see if they qualify for a new, free diabetic test meter delivered directly to their door."
American Diabetes Services carries the newest meters including the Ascensia Contour, FreeStyle glucose meter and the OneTouch Ultra 2. To find out if your diabetic test meters have been recalled, please visit the FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/diabetes/index.html
