The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Bayer has recalled some batches of its Contour TS blood glucose test strips, because they gave inaccurate blood sugar readings, 5–17% higher than the true value.
The company said the faulty batches were made on new equipment, which it has since recalibrated, correcting the manufacturing fault. The recall affected sales in seven countries, including the United States, and patients who bought the strips were asked to check the batch numbers and contact Bayer to replace affected strips.
Falsely high readings can lead to too much insulin and dangerously low blood sugar, so if your readings don't match how you feel, check them with another meter or ask your doctor.
