HI Sam
I had received this notification and having read it determined that it refers to the patient’s own meter. We do not offer a service for home use devices which we know vary immensely in quality on the market.
Professional use meters are more likely to meet ISO standards and I am sure this is evident elsewhere, we would not adopt a device that did not meet a very strict specification that is written with ISO standards in mind.
From what I can interpret from this brief notification, diabetes teams should look to advise patients to change meters if there are any performance, safety or quality issues.

Hi All
Does anyone know of the list of glucose meters that are or are not compliant with the new ISO standard?
Cheers
Sam
