As the complaint products were not returned, i-sens analyzed the cause of the low readings using a meter of the reference meter of the same model and strips of the same lot.As a result of the control solution test, all results were within the standard range, and the cv% was within the acceptance criteria (below 5%) which satisfied the internal standard in i-sens.Therefore, it is judged that the product operated normally.

I-sens analyzed the cause of the low readings using the returned meter and strips.The control solution test results with the returned meter and normal strips were within the standard range, and the cv% was within the acceptance criteria (below 5%) which satisfied the internal standard in i-sens.Therefore, it is judged that the meter operated normally.However, as a result of checking the returned strips, strips presumed to be from another lot were mixed in the bottle (the code on the back of the strip was different).And blood was injected into most of the strips.In addition, the control solution test results with the normal meter and retained strips of the complaint lot were within the standard range, and the cv% was within the acceptable criteria.Therefore, it is presumed that the problem of low readings occurred due to misuse by the user.If the blood inlet of the strip is contaminated, various problems, such as error messages and incorrect readings, may occur.
