Safety Advisory on Abbott Optium Test Strips
10 January 2011
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has been advised by Abbott Diabetes Care that routine Quality Assurance monitoring has identified a problem associated with the slow filling with certain lots of Optium blood glucose test strips. The affected products are:
- Optium Point of Care Glucose Test Strips 100s (G3cH)
- Optium Glucose Test Strips 100s (G3c)
- Optium Glucose Test Strips 10s (G3c)
The affected test strips may give falsely low blood glucose readings if exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
Abbott Diabetes Care has advised that:
- An inaccurately low blood glucose reading may occur if the test strip takes longer than 5 seconds to 'fill'; and'
- If this occurs then the strip should be discarded and the test repeated.
