United StatesOwner’s booklets and Instructions for Use for TRUE METRIX blood glucose meters and kits (many models/UDIs listed, serial numbers prefixed with “T”, and Owner’s Booklet/IFU revisions such as RE4TVH03 Rev 56 and prior, RE4TVH35 Rev 51 and prior, RE4SUN03 Rev 55 and prior, RE4ITV16 Rev 53 and prior, and others) are affected. They were recalled because the labeling does not adequately instruct lay users how to respond to an E‑5 error code, failing to clearly emphasize that E‑5 can indicate a very high blood glucose level or to prominently advise contacting a healthcare professional, which could delay treatment.

The hazard
The system labeling (user manual and online labeling) did not provide adequate directions for lay users to act on the E-5 error code. The error code description and recommended actions for the E-5 error code in the labeling do not: (a) clearly emphasize that an E-5 error code could represent a very high blood glucose level, and (b) prominently convey the appropriate immediate actions, such as contacting a healthcare professional. This could lead to a delay in treatment if the user does not seek medical attention immediately when receiving an E-5 error code and experiencing symptoms of high glucose.
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
