Plain-English summary
reSET-O is a mobile application for iOS and Android devices that provides cognitive behavioral therapy as part of substance abuse treatment programs. The app includes a contingency management feature that provides rewards to patients based on urine drug screen (UDS) results.
Due to a software defect, the app incorrectly allowed patients who tested positive on urine drug screens to access the contingency management reward system. Under normal operation, patients with positive UDS results should not have been eligible for these rewards.
The recall affects approximately 3,370 units distributed across the United States in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Patients and healthcare providers using this app should contact Pear Therapeutics for information about the software update or alternative treatment options while the defect is being corrected.
