MEDICAL DEVICE ALERT: HemoCue Glucose meters (9 August 2007)

Users of HemoCue Glucose 201+ and HemoCue Glucose 201 RT blood glucose meters purchased or supplied before January 2007 should contact HemoCue for a software upgrade.

For blood samples with high glucose concentrations (above 22.2mmol/L) these devices may display a zero reading if the measurement is taken directly after a measurement with an empty cuvette holder.

If a zero reading is obtained, the meter should be turned off and on again. The reading should then be repeated.

HemoCue can be contacted on 01246 292955
