Reason for Recall
The meter gives a strip error message that can "actually" mean either a problem with the strip or a blood glucose too low to measure, but the meter error message only reports that there is a strip error and the manual only instructs the user to retest with a new strip using a larger drop of blood.
Firm Action
A recall notification letter dated April 24, 2006 was sent to each customer alerting them to the fact that this error code has a dual meaning. New software will be installed in all meters when it becomes available.
