Contour TS Test Strips Recalled

January 3, 2008

Bayer Diabetes Care has voluntarily recalled test strips used exclusively with the Contour TS Glucose Meter. The strips were recalled because specific lots were showing blood glucose readings from 5% to 17% higher than the actual reading.

The meter itself does not have problems, and the strips work fine with other Bayer meters, such as the Ascensia Contour and Ascensia Breeze2.
