Nipro Diagnostics announced a voluntary recall of more than 500 TRUEbalance and TRUEtrack blood glucose meters distributed between September 2008 and May 2013, according to an FDA press release.

The manufacturer reported that some meters have an incorrect factory-set unit of measure which displays the glucose level in mmoi/L vs. the correct mg/dL. In the event that a patient does not notice the incorrect unit of measure, the results could be read as lower than expected, according to the press release.

Health care providers and patients are asked to report adverse events related to the use of these products to the FDA’s MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
