In light of a recent alert concerning Verio Meters our Practice Pharmacy colleagues are reviewing patients in the GP practices and have asked us to pass on the following information to pharmacists and their teams in the community.
The MHRA alert is about Verio Meters. Quite a few batches of the actual meters (Verio IQ and Verio Pro) are being recalled by the manufacturers.
It would be helpful if pharmacies could watch out for patients who get a prescription for One-touch Verio strips, check that they have been informed of the recall and if not, give the patient the relevant letter depending on the type of meter used.
Download here a copy of the alert from the MHRA, which includes copies of the two patient letters so that you can print off copies for patients.
