Cambridge Sensors recalls specific Microdot Xtra blood glucose test strips due to improper fit causing delayed test results. Affected lots listed in the notice.
The firm reported that a faulty cutting/punching machine did not meet specifications after being fitted with new blades and did not correctly "notch" BG test strips intended for use in the US. The impacted strips did not fit into the inlet port of the BG meter, therefore resulting in a delay in BG testing and results.
