IMPORTANT NEW
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION REGARDING THE OPERATION OF ONE TOUCH® ULTRA
& INDUO™ METERS –
If
you use a ONE TOUCH Ultra® Blood Glucose Meter or InDuo™ System, or
you recommend either of these products to diabetes patients, please take
a few moments to read the following important information describing two
conditions that could potentially affect the operation of these meters.
1.
Condition #1: An "Er 4"
display message may mean a high glucose level when testing in a low
temperature environment.
2.
Condition #2: Brief power loss may cause the meter to enter set-up
mode and may indicate a possible meter memory problem
