If the warning pans out, however, we may have to put our collective thinking caps on to figure out how to proceed as the Solus V2 isn't on the formulary of many insurance carriers yet.

FDA inspected Prodigy facilities and cited numerous violations and  complaints that were not properly reported and that "reasonably suggests that Prodigy's device may have caused or contributed to a life threatening injury".  The letter goes onto detail failures in Prodigy's manufacturing processes, quality control processes, record keeping, and details test strip lots that were distributed by the company despite failing to meet accuracy standards.
