Dear Sirs,
I have a urgent question for you. I’m a type 1 diabetic, currently living in Germany. I have tried to get a Cozmonitor BG meter from Smith Medical (mfgr. is Abbott) in the US, since it’s not available in Germany right now.
First I’ve been told that it wouldn’t work with my software, but I found out that’s not the truth. Now they are telling me that FDA regulations keep them from selling me a meter.
Could this be true ? I would like the verify this information before contacting the press about this issue and get it out the public.
Thank you very much in advance for your help. You will find the correspondence with Smiths Medical below.
Yours sincerely,
Michael xxxxxxxx

Michael,
We are not able to sell you our Cozmonitor. Because of FDA regulations we are only able to sell to customers who purchased there pump in the US.

Terry,
I just found out that the Cozmonitor meter will work with my pump/software. Would you sell one to me now ?
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,

Michael,
We will not be able to process your web order # 7886. Our Cozmonitor will not work with your pump. The software is different in your pump then in the pumps sold in the US. You will need to contact the company you order your supplies from to order the clear belt clip.

Hi Terry,
thanks for checking. I ordered via the webstore on Monday. My billing address is in Germany, since I use a German credit card, the shipping address is my cousin Robert Ilyichenko in Hauppauge, New York.
I received the pump from my doctor in Germany, only the Cozmonitor wasn’t available.
I’ll attach the confirmation I received on monday, maybe this helps tracing my order.
Thanks again for helping me out !
