Visgeneer, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,820 Blood Uric Acid Monitoring Systems because the devices were distributed without the required FDA premarket clearance or approvals. The affected kits contain a blood uric acid meter, a lancing device, a user manual, lancets, and a 10-count bottle of test strips. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date, but the accuracy and safety of these unapproved devices have not been established. Consumers should stop using the monitoring system and contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions.
These monitoring systems have not undergone FDA review to ensure they provide accurate and reliable blood uric acid readings. Using an unvalidated device could lead to incorrect medical results, potentially causing patients to make inappropriate treatment decisions for conditions like gout.
