    Description

    ACCU-CHEK Advantage Blood Glucose Meter, Cat. No. 3332586; Ref. no. 03332586001 with meter model no. 2138930.

    Reason

    The meter gives an 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 the test strip may be damaged or test was not performed correctly.

    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.
