- RECALL
Meter Temporarily Freezes-- A software compatibility issue may cause the blood glucose meter to cease operations and freeze temporarily.
- RECALL
Damaged Vials/Inaccurate test results: a manufacturing equipment problem on one of the packaging lines had the potential to puncture vials, causing a single hole in the side of the vial below the rim. This result of this defect may produce inaccurately high or low blood glucose test results or error message readings.
