Important information about open vials of Accu-Chek ® Performa test strips
Description of Situation and Rationale giving rise to this corrective measure
Roche Diabetes Care has received complaints from one hospital in the United States alleging unexpected results (such as positively biased, or falsely too high, results) when using test strip vials which have opened while still in a sealed carton.
The Roche investigation showed that, in very rare circumstances, it is possible that a vial can open in a sealed carton while in transit.
We have not had such complaints in the Middle East & Africa region.
This could happen to Accu-Chek ® Aviva / Accu-Chek ® Performa test strips, when they are shipped at elevated temperature (≥45°C or 113°F) AND when the carton is dropped or handled roughly during transit and distribution process. It is only when these two conditions occur in combination that the failure mode has been observed.
Due to the influence of high temperature and humidity this failure might affect the accuracy of the blood glucose measurement.
Details on affected test strips
The potentially affected test strips are
