Reason for recall

Certain iOS and Android App versions contain a program error (bug) in the Bolus Advisor feature. Due to a software bug, when the OS region of the phone setting is changed, the unit of measure within the app may unexpectedly change. This creates a risk the app might not transfer the blood glucose result or the user might not correctly input numerical values for carbohydrate used for bolus advice.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
