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 regarding the E-5 error code. This recall affects worldwide distribution, including the US, UK, Mexico, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Australia. The issue could lead to serious adverse events.
What changed
The FDA has classified a recall for Trividia Health's TRUE METRIX 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 owner's booklets and instructions for use that did not adequately direct lay users on how to respond to an E-5 error code, which could indicate a serious problem with the device's accuracy.
This recall impacts worldwide distribution, including the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Australia. Healthcare providers and consumers using these devices should be aware of the potential for inaccurate readings and the lack of clear guidance on error codes. While the document does not specify a compliance deadline or direct actions for consumers, the nature of a Class I recall necessitates immediate attention from the manufacturer and distributors to mitigate risks.
What to do next
- Review Trividia Health's communication regarding the E-5 error code for TRUE METRIX devices.
- Ensure affected users are aware of the potential for inaccurate readings and the lack of clear guidance on error codes.
- Consult FDA recall information for specific instructions or updates.
