No product has been returned.The complaint was investigated and determined that there was no indication that the product did not meet specification.All error codes for the reported complaint and precision xceed meters correspond to meter related errors, calibrator related errors, or strip expiry errors.The reported strip lot 65321 was past its expiration date of september 30, 2016 at the time of the complaint (b)(6)2017; therefore, no investigation activities were performed for this lot.As the issue is related to the meter, no investigation activities relating to strips, such as dhr reviews, retain testing, clinical or stability reviews, were performed.The useful life of xceed meter is 5 years.As the manufacturing date of this product is before 2010, it has been in distribution beyond its useful life as of the case awareness date of (b)(6)2017.Since the product exceeded its useful life, it is determined to have met specification when the product was released and through its lifespan.Therefore, no further investigation activities are required.If the product is returned, the case will be re-opened and a physical investigation will be performed.- attachment: [attachments.Zip].
