The reporter's meter was returned for investigation.The display was confirmed to be functioning as expected.Visual inspection showed the test strip adapter is out of alignment due to bent pins.The damaged pins are due to a handling error, likely due to being dropped.Due to the incorrect positioning of the adapter, the test strip is recognized as "invalid strip type" (e 151).Due to this error, the measurement is not continued and the code key is not read and displayed.Medwatch fields d9 and h3 have been updated.
