FDA's MAUDE database holds 2,741 reports that name the brand "One Touch Basic Enhanced" (blood glucose monitoring kit/system), received between March 2001 and August 2006; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Lifescan. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, and none in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (92%) and injury (7.2%); across all hexokinase, glucose reports (product code CFR) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 83.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are incorrect or inadequate test results (66%), replace (23.7%) and high test results (9.8%). The patient problems coded most often are blood glucose, high, treatment with medication(s) and hospitalization required. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
