HemoCue has become aware of indications of in-correct high readings of HemoCue Glucose 201 RT and HemoCue Glucose 201 DM RT for the application of monitoring of blood glucose levels on pre-term neonates. On full-term neonates there are no similar indications but as a precaution HemoCue has decided to replace all systems on delivery and neonatal wards with HemoCue Glucose 201+ or HemoCue Glucose 201 DM while investigations continue. |
