Trividia Health Class I Recall for Blood Glucose Devices
Summary
The FDA has issued a Class I recall for Trividia Health's blood glucose measuring devices due to inadequate labeling instructions for the E-5 error code. This recall affects owner's booklets and instructions for use distributed worldwide. Consumers and healthcare providers are advised to be aware of potential issues with device readings.
What changed
The FDA has classified a recall for Trividia Health's TRUE METRIX GO Kits (used with blood glucose measuring devices) as Class I, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The issue stems from labeling that did not adequately instruct lay users on how to act upon an E-5 error code, which may indicate a serious problem with the device's measurement accuracy.
This recall impacts all affected devices distributed worldwide, including in the US, Mexico, United Kingdom, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Australia. While the document does not specify a compliance deadline or direct actions for regulated entities, the nature of a Class I recall necessitates immediate attention from distributors and potentially requires manufacturers to implement corrective actions to ensure adequate labeling and user instructions are provided to prevent serious health risks to patients relying on accurate blood glucose readings.
What to do next
- Review Trividia Health's recall notice for affected blood glucose devices.
- Ensure any distributed owner's booklets and instructions for use are updated to clearly explain the E-5 error code and recommended actions.
- Monitor for any further communication from Trividia Health or the FDA regarding corrective actions or consumer advisories.
