1 Accu-Chek Aviva, Accu-Chek Performa Urgent field safety notice May 2018 Important information on selected lots of Accu-Chek Aviva (50s, 10s) and Accu-Chek Performa (10s) strips potentially showing an increased number of strip errors prior to dosing or biased results Dear Healthcare Professional, At Roche Diabetes Care we hold our products to the highest standards of quality and are committed to communicating any issues impacting the operation of our products. This is why we would like to inform you today about an issue that might occur in certain lots of the Accu-Chek Aviva and Accu-Chek Performa test strips. As part of our ongoing quality monitoring and market surveillance processes, we have identified certain test strip lots that potentially show an increase in strip errors prior to dosing. Due to the designed fail-safe in the blood glucose meter, the issue can be identified by an error message displayed on the meter upon strip insertion or through the device not recognising the test strip. However, in a very limited number of cases the test strip can produce a biased result i.e. a falsely too high or too low value, which your patients might not be able to detect easily and which could lead to erroneous therapy adaptations. The affected UK products are: Accu-Chek Aviva 50s Accu-Chek Aviva 10s (Sold in retail only) Accu-Chek Performa 10s (Sold in retail only) Accu-Chek Performa 10s contained with Accu-Chek Performa Nano meter kits As patient safety is our first priority, we would therefore like to ask you to advise your patients to: check the lot numbers of their test strip supplies against the complete list of lot numbers in Appendix A. You can also do this online by visiting They can find the lot number on the top flap of the vial carton packaging as well as on the label of each test strip vial as shown in the picture below.
