Reason/Issue |
Roche has identified a certain test strip lot that potentially shows an increase in strip errors prior to dosing. Due to the designed fail-safe in the blood glucose meter, the issue can be identified by the error message displayed on the meter upon strip insertion or through the device not recognising the test strip, respectively. However, in a limited number of cases the test strip can produce a biased result i.e. a false high or low value, which might not be detected easily and which could lead to erroneous therapy adaptations. |
