Official wording

Reason: The recalling firm has identified two lots of test strips that are out of specification. Affected test strips show an increased potential for: strip errors prior to applying a blood sample; strips not detected once inserted; or a biased result may occur, which may not be detectable. In the case of a biased result, incorrect action could be taken by the user in response to the displayed blood glucose result as compared to the actual blood glucose value.
