Why these products were recalled

Due to a manufacturing process issue that may cause carbon build up in the sensor that may result in incorrect low glucose results

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
