Health Canada Warning: Counterfeit Lifescan Blood Glucose Test Strips
Health Canada is warning Canadians that certain Lifescan, Inc., One Touch Brand Test Strips, Basic/Profile and Ultra, sold in the United States are counterfeit. The counterfeit blood glucose test strips could potentially give incorrect blood glucose values, either too high or too low, which could result in a patient taking too much or too little insulin, leading to serious injury or death.
The test strips can be used with various models of LifeScan, Inc., One Touch Brand Blood Glucose monitors.
