Reason for recall
A software bug within the meter firmware leads to transmission of erroneous glucose and/or ketone patient test results to a healthcare institution's data management system (DMS) at healthcare sites using WiFi if a user navigates to the Review Results screen while the meter is in the process of transmitting the current test result to the DMS.
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.
