News Briefs: Recalls of Syringes and Test Strips

A recall has been issued for ReliOn syringes (lot No. 813900) for use with U-100 insulin. The syringe packaging is mislabeled, leading users to administer 2.5 times more insulin than intended. This could result in dangerously low blood glucose levels. (For more information, call 1-866-780-5436.)

 

In other recall news, a small number of OneTouch Ultra Test Strips are being recalled for giving readings that are falsely low. Check your vials for lot No. 2829235; the manufacturer, LifeScan, will replace defective strips. (For more information, call 1-866-247-1281.)
