Hazard Information

The system labeling (user manual and online labeling) did not provide adequate directions for lay users to act on the E-5 error code. The error code description and recommended actions for the E-5 error code in the labeling do not: (a) clearly emphasize that an E-5 error code could represent a very high blood glucose level, and (b) prominently convey the appropriate immediate actions, such as contacting a healthcare professional. This could lead to a delay in treatment if the user does not seek medical attention immediately when receiving an E-5 error code and experiencing symptoms of high glucose.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Trividia Health, Inc. or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter

About This Product

TRUE METRIX GO is a blood glucose monitoring system used to measure blood sugar levels. It is distributed through multiple retailers worldwide and includes owner’s booklets and instructions.

Why This Is Dangerous

Labeling failed to clearly emphasize that E-5 could indicate dangerously high blood glucose and did not prominently instruct immediate action. This may delay treatment during high glucose events.

Industry Context

This recall is not described as part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Consumers may experience delays in recognizing dangerous hyperglycemia. The recall emphasizes consuming urgent action rather than relying on ambiguous labeling.
