Meijer Recall Posted Date: 6/23/2023
Summary of Recall: Ascensia Diabetes Care (ADC) is recalling specific serial numbers of the CONTOUR NEXT Gen blood glucose meters. The meters were packaged into the meter kit and had incorrect factory-set units of measurement where the meters display glucose results in mmol/L rather than mg/dL. The values displayed by the meters in mmol/L are accurate, however, if a consumer does not notice the incorrect unit of measurement, it is possible that the meter’s glucose measurement will be read as a lower blood glucose measurement than expected, and this may result in the patient’s glucose level remaining high, which can potentially lead to an injury requiring immediate medical intervention.
Product Description: The affected product carried by Meijer is in the chart below. No other products carried by Meijer are impacted.
CONTOUR® NEXT Gen Blood Glucose Meters
Item Number: 90002902
Lot Number: DM01T033P
SKU Number: 7917
Serial Numbers: 1057018, 1057019, 1057020, 1057023, 1057024, 1057025, 1057076 to 1057113, 1057115 to1057150, 1058501 to 1058750, 1060751 to 1060755, 1060757 to 1061000
Hazard: The erroneous decision of a user to increase blood glucose levels based on misleading information on the meter display by consuming carbohydrates and/or omitting glucose lowering medication might further increase blood glucose levels. This might cause early signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia such as hyperuricemia, thirst, blurred vision, and tiredness. In rare cases, where a patient continues to misinterpret meter results and units over a prolonged period of time after experiencing hyperglycemia, a ketoacidosis could occur with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, tachypnea, and confusion requiring immediate medical intervention.
