RECALL: Boots brand blood glucose monitoring system (15 October 2007)

The displays on Boots brand blood glucose monitoring system (home use blood glucose meters) can fail when the meters are dropped or knocked. The meter may fail to display a reading or the date, time or lot number details.

Users should be advised to check the display is complete before each reading and that storing the meter in its wallet can protect it from damage. If a meter fails to display a reading, users should return it to where it was obtained or contact the Boots helpline.

Pharmacists are advised to cease supply of these meters and to identify and quarantine meters in current stock and contact the Boots helpline (on 0800 0721230).
