Internal report reference number: (b)(4).Meter and test strips were not returned for evaluation.Retention testing was performed using test strips from the same lot.Retention strip lot tested within specifications.Most likely underlying root cause: mlc-055: user had an inaccurate reference: competitor¿s meter: the end user is comparing results obtained from trividia¿s bgm system to the results from a competitor¿s bgm system.Note: manufacturer contacted customer in a follow-up call on 18-mar-2026 to ensure the replacement products resolved the initial concern - able to establish contact with customer who stated he went to the doctor regarding the initial meter and ongoing issues with his blood sugar and the doctor put him on a continuous monitor.Customer stated he did not use the replacement product.He got the continuous monitor and is now using that instead of the true metrix.When asked for date of the doctor visit the customer disconnected the call; no further information was able to be obtained.
