The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) have become increasingly concerned about the risks for
transmitting hepatitis B virus (HBV) and other bloodborne pathogens to people
undergoing finger stick procedures for blood sampling. For instance, people with
diabetes who require assistance monitoring their blood glucose levels.
Reports of HBV infection outbreaks linked to diabetes care have been increasing.
This notice serves as a reminder that finger stick devices should never be used for
more than one person.
