Why it was recalled

The firm reported that a faulty cutting/punching machine did not meet specifications after being fitted with new blades and did not correctly "notch" BG test strips intended for use in the US. The impacted strips did not fit into the inlet port of the BG meter, therefore resulting in a delay in BG testing and results.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
