Arrow Please Note:

This only applies to certain Aviva meters, Not all, per the article:

Quote:
The recall only applies to meters with certain serial numbers. "Only the recalled Accu-Chek Aviva Meters have the potential to experience the electronic malfunction," states an FDA news release.

The serial number is found on the back of the meter.

"If the serial number falls within the range of 52500000000 through 52510999999, it is potentially affected and therefore subject to this recall," states Roche Diagnostics, manufacturer of the meters, in a news release posted on the FDA's web site.

In the U.S., the recalled serial numbers range from 52500000000 through 52510999999. Outside the U.S., the recall includes:
  • Serial numbers 52600000000 through 52610999999
  • Serial numbers 52700000000 through 52710999999
  • Serial numbers 52800000000 through 52810999999
The recall does not apply to meters with U.S. serial numbers 52511000000 and higher, or to Accu-Chek Aviva test strips, states Roche Diagnostics.
Just wanted to make sure others were aware and didn't become alarmed (prior to reading the article & seeing which serial numbers were affected).
