Product Recall: Bayer Diabetes' Test Strips (sensors) for Contour TS Blood Glucose Meter

Filed in archive Diabetics' Device , Information , News on December 26, 2007

Bayer Diabetes voluntary recalled in the market its test strips (sensors) (used exclusively with the Contour TS Blood Glucose Meter) due to a manufacturing issue.

In the course of its routine quality control monitoring processes the Company identified a manufacturing issue with test strips from specific lots that could result in blood glucose readings with a positive bias that is outside of our product specifications. Test results may demonstrate results 5 -17% higher.

Read the full recall notice from the FDA News or the Bayer Diabetes notice to see the list of 'Affected Product Code Numbers by Country'.

Take note: There is no issue with the meter itself, only the test strips that go with them.

BEWARE of the product recall notices if you have purchased this product (the test strips not the meter!).
