As the complaint meter was not returned, i-sens analyzed the high reading issue with a retained meter and strips from 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.
