Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
As apparent during the examination of the returned meter, most of the damage to the meter was to the front area by the strip port.The aviva ii meter uses a 3v battery.This battery type does not have enough voltage/capacity to ignite/explode by itself with an external factor.Per the meter labeling, the meter should not be stored by a heat source.Due to the condition of the returned meter it has been concluded that the damage did not originate from the meter itself and has been determined to be a result of customer mishandling.
