    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED AT THE THIRD-PARTY PACKAGING SITE (PHC INDONESIA). CONTOUR® NEXT GEN BLOOD GLUCOSE METERS WERE NOT RE-CONFIGURED WITH UNITS OF MEASUREMENT FOR CANADA (WHICH SHOULD BE IN MMOL/L) AND PASSED ALONG THE PACKAGING LINE UNDETECTED. THEREFORE, THE METERS WITH INCORRECT UNITS OF MEASUREMENT WERE USED FOR THE LOT DESTINED FOR THE CANADIAN MARKET. AN URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL (UMDR) NOTICE WAS SENT TO THE CANADIAN CUSTOMERS ON 10-JUL-2025. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION INCLUDED A DESCRIPTION OF THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, AFFECTED PRODUCT, CONSIGNEE RESPONSIBILITIES, AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESPONDING TO THE FORMAL RECALL NOTIFICATION. CUSTOMERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT ASCENSIA DIABETES CARE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO RETURN THE AFFECTED PRODUCT AND RECEIVE THE REPLACEMENT PRODUCT. THE UMDR EXPLAINED THE POTENTIAL RISK FOR INCORRECT UNITS OF MEASUREMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTOUR® NEXT GEN METERS. PHC INDONESIA HAS IMPLEMENTED IMPROVEMENTS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF INCORRECT UNITS OF MEASUREMENT. UNKNOWN WAS RECORDED IN SECTION A1, AND NO INFORMATION WAS CAPTURED IN SECTIONS A2, A3 AND A4, AS THE PATIENT'S CREDENTIALS, AGE, SEX AND WEIGHT WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTOUR® NEXT GEN METER DOES NOT HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE. THEREFORE, NO INFORMATION WAS CAPTURED IN SECTION D4 (EXPIRATION DATE). THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF THE METER IS 5 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. THE CONTOUR® NEXT GEN METER WITH SKU # 7923 AND SERIAL # (B)(6) WAS DISTRIBUTED OUTSIDE THE US, THEREFORE, NO GUDID INFORMATION EXISTS AND THE UDI NUMBER IS NOT APPLICABLE. SINCE THE ISSUE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PACKAGING OF THE DEVICE, THE DEVICE MANUFACTURE DATE IN SECTION H4 HAS BEEN CAPTURED AS 02-NOV-2024, WHEN THE SUSPECTED DEVICE WAS PACKAGED AT PHC INDONESIA.
