Safeway, in Cooperation with Trividia Health Inc., is Voluntarily Recalling Safeway TRUEtrack and Signature Care TRUEtest Blood Glucose Test Strips Due to a Packaging Defect That May Affect Testing Accuracy
PLEASANTON, Calif., July 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeway, in cooperation with Trividia Health, Inc., formerly Nipro Diagnostics, is voluntarily recalling all lots of Safeway TRUEtrack Blood Glucose Test Strips and Signature Care TRUEtest Blood Glucose Test Strips.
The products, manufactured by Trividia Health, were sold at all Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Carrs and Pak 'N Save stores nationwide. Trividia Health manufactures blood glucose test strips for more than 100 retailers.
Trividia Health reports that some blood glucose test strip lots, packaged during a specific timeframe, may include open, unsealed test strip vials within the sealed test strip vial boxes. Exposure to an open environment for long periods can affect test strip performance. If a user does not notice an open test strip vial upon opening the sealed test strip vial box, and then uses the test strips to measure blood glucose, the meter may provide incorrect low blood glucose results.
The recall of Safeway TRUEtrack and Signature Care TRUEtest Test Strips includes the product sizes and date codes listed below.
