  • Extra notes in the data
    Field action initiated because of Abbott Diabetes Care's ADC observation of a higher-than-expected rate of monitors exhibiting damage to the liquid crystal display (LCD) when subjected to a standard drop test. This was observed during a qualification of a new part, where part of the design check drop test involves a standard drop test. As a consequence of this observed fault of display damage, the ADC conducted the same test in the production of monitors and the same display damage was observed. However the monitors affected were only those manufactured after January 31, 2007. At the time the production monitors were identified as being affected, all monitors production and distribution were discontinued and an investigation was initiated.
  • Reason
    A higher-than-expected rate of monitors exhibiting damage to the liquid crystal display (lcd) when subjected to a standard drop test.
  • Action
    Abbott Diabetes Care - ADC plans to insert a flyer flyer on affected lots of inventory in Brazil and also enable customers to receive the exchange of the product under warranty.
