Event Description
On (b)(6) 2020, the lay-user/patient contacted lifescan (lfs) united kingdom, alleging that his onetouch verio2 meter read inaccurately high compared to his feelings and/or normal readings.The complaint was classified based on the customer care agent (cca) documentation.The patient informed the cca that the alleged meter inaccuracy began around (b)(6) 2020.The patient reported obtaining alleged inaccurate high readings of ¿22.4, 18.3, 14.0, 14.5, 17.4, 17.0, 22.3, 18.4, 27.4, 16.0, 16.3, 20.5, 16.3, 16.9, 16.8, 22.5, 15.1, 15.4 and 19.8 mmol/l¿ with the subject meter on separate occasions.The patient manages his diabetes with a combination of humalog and lantus insulin on a self-adjusting dose based on food intake.It was not reported if the patient made any changes to his usual diabetes management regimen in response to the elevated results.The patient reported experiencing ¿hypoglycemia¿ with symptoms of ¿light-headedness, shakiness, cannot concentrate, cannot speak, very weak and very pale¿ almost every night since the alleged issue began; he was unable to recall exact dates/times.The patient reported treating himself with an energy drink in response to the symptoms.On (b)(6) 2020, the patient reported receiving advice from his diabetes nursing team to reduce his dose of insulin from 56 to 44 units.The patient denied using any other device to test his blood glucose.At the time of troubleshooting, the cca confirmed the unit of measure was set correctly on the subject meter.The cca noted that the correct testing process was being followed.The cca confirmed the test strip vial was intact and the test strips had been stored correct and were not expired or opened past their discard date.The cca noted the patient did not have control solution available to perform a quality control test.Replacement product was sent to the patient.This complaint is being reported because the patient reportedly developed signs/symptoms suggestive of a serious injury adverse event after the alleged inaccuracy issue began.The subject meter could not be ruled out as a cause or contributor to the event.
