FDA doubles down on warfarin test strip recall

The FDA this week alerted patients and doctors about test strips used to monitor levels of the blood thinner warfarin, expanding and reiterating its warning that the products shouldn’t be used to adjust a person’s drug dosage.

The agency’s latest notice is related to the Class I recall of Roche‘s CoaguChek meters and test strips, which the FDA issued in November last year. The initial recall involved more than 1.1 million packages of CoaguChek XS PT test strips that were distributed across the U.S. from Jan. 12 – Oct. 29 of 2018.
