On November 27, 2013, Abbott announced a voluntary recall of 20 lots of FreeStyle and FreeStyle Lite test strips in the United States. These lots of test strips are being recalled because the strips may produce erroneously low blood glucose results when used with the FreeStyle Blood Glucose Meter, FreeStyle Flash Blood Glucose Meter, and the OmniPod Insulin Management System.
However, blood glucose test results are not affected when the test strips were used with the newer FreeStyle brand meters. These newer models include the FreeStyle Freedom, FreeStyle Lite, and FreeStyle Freedom Lite meters.
The test strips included in this voluntary recall are from lots with expiration dates between May 2014 and March 2015. Customers affected by this recall are instructed to call Abbott’s Diabetes Care customer service at 1-888-736-9869 for a replacement at no charge. Please see the FDA or Abbott to see the lot numbers affected and for additional information regarding this recall.
**The FreeStyle and FreeStyle Lite test strips in our inventory are not part of the affected lots in this recall notice**
