MASSDEVICE ON CALL — Regulators in the U.K. and China issued public warnings about home blood glucose monitors for visually impaired patients with diabetes, warning that the devices may give false readings.
The devices, manufactured by TaiDoc Technology Corp., do not alert patients when sufficient blood has been applied to the meter, potentially providing falsely low blood glucose results if the test strips are under-filled and falsely high readings if the strips are over-filled, according to the agencies.
