Accu-Chek Connect Diabetes Management App

Hazard

iOS and Android: Under certain conditions the affected app versions may disregard historical bolus data potentially leading to an incorrect bolus insulin recommendation being provided to the user. iOS only: Pairing and using multiple meters with the Accu-Chek Connect app can under rare circumstances cause the bolus advisor to fail to offer a correction bolus recommendation within the eligible time window following a blood glucose measurement (10 15 minutes). Depending on the individual metabolic situation potentially incorrect bolus advice could lead to serious health consequences such as hypoglycemia. Both software issues may also cause the amount of active insulin displayed during the bolus calculation process to be incorrect and should not be used to manually calculate a bolus.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Customers were notified via Google Play Store or the Apple App Store that an update to the Accu-Chek Connect App was available on December 20, 2016.. The description of the new version available in the app stores indicated that the new version resolved issues with the Bolus Advisor. It also includes direction to the Accu-Chek website. On December 21, 2016, information regarding the issues corrected with the new version was placed on the website. The information on the website was replaced on January 10, 2017, with the patient version of the Urgent Medical Device Correction (UMDC) which was sent on January 10, 2017, to US HCPs who have received prescription pads that would allow them to prescribe the bolus advice activation.
