Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. officials said the company's Precision Xtra, Optium, ReliOn, Ultima, Rite Aid and Kroger blood glucose meter displays might malfunction if the meter is dropped onto a hard surface. The malfunction might prevent a user from obtaining an accurate blood glucose reading, posing a risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Users of the meters who note the display screen is not working properly are advised to stop using their meter and contact Abbott at 877-844-4404.
