  Accu-Chek Guide (SC) Kit -Intended to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from the fingertip, palm, and upper arm as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of glucose control. Product REF Number: 08453071001

  The reason for recall is the meters may show an incorrect measurement unit (mmol/L rather than mg/dL) and may result in the wrong unit of measure. Which may subsequently cause an error in interpreting a result as approximately 18 times lower that the actual blood glucose. Potential immediate health consequences of the glucose meter providing a reading in the wrong units of measurement (UOM) may result in inappropriate rescue therapy for presumed hypoglycemia including urgent and repeat administration of carbohydrates. This in turn could lead to frequent episodes of hyperglycemia which is unrecognized and undertreated.Long range consequences of continued use of the affected meters could include mismanagement of the patient s diabetes for longer periods of time potentially resulting in a major health event (in general persistent and/or severe hyperglycemia) that may lead them to seek medical attention, and depending on the duration of hyperglycemia, could contribute to the development of microvascular (i.e., retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy) and/or macrovascular (i.e., myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke) complications of diabetes and could lead to fetal damage (abnormal fetal growth and altered organ development and maturation, fetal hypoxemia, spontaneous abortion, and congenital anomalies) in pregnant women. This issue was identified by three initial consumer complaints, with reports that the meters were presenting the incorrect unit of measure.

  The recalling firm identified four US lots of test strips out of specification. Affected strips show increased potential for strip errors prior to applying blood, strips not detected once inserted, or biased results, which may not be detectable. In the case of a biased result, incorrect action could be taken by the user in response to the displayed blood glucose result.
