TRUE METRIX® Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems
The former liquidator for Trividia Health Australia Pty Ltd (deregistered) is facilitating a product correction for TRUE METRIX® Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems. This correction updates the instructions provided with the device to clearly explain the actions users should take if an E-5 error code appears, particularly if they are experiencing symptoms of high blood glucose levels.

What is the problem?
The system displays an E-5 error code for a very high blood glucose event (>33.3mmol/L) or when there is a test strip error. The current device instructions do not clearly advise users to seek urgent medical attention.
What are the risks?
This problem could result in a delay in treatment, which could lead to serious health consequences or death, particularly for users with very high blood glucose levels.
What should I do?
- Review the updated error code instructions at https://www.trividiahealth.com.au/.
- As outlined in the instructions, if you see an E-5 error code:
- If you have symptoms of high blood glucose (fatigue, excess urination, thirst or blurry vision): seek medical attention immediately.
- If you do not have symptoms: retest using a new test strip. If the error continues, contact Trividia Health for assistance.
