glucose + ketones test strips
Accuracy & Ease of use
for people with diabetes
- high analytical performance even for values below 60 mg/dL, which are critical for the detection of hypoglycemic episodes
10/10 accuracy
-
performance that surpasses
ISO standards 1
- analytical accuracy 2
- clinical accuracy 2
- reduced possibility of error in hypo detection
figure adapted from Ref. 3
high precision
- high repeatability performance, even in critical intervals for hypoglycemia
In hypoglycemia, repeatability of measurements is important because the effect of treatment may only be temporary, so blood glucose should be measured every 15 minutes 4
high hematocrit
compensation
- meets the ISO standards in the range of hematocrit 10-70% 6
WIDE STRONG EASY TO HANDLE
Insertion Zone
Reaction Zone
easy to use
- wide and strong strips for easy handling
- user friendly insertion
- quick tests: 5 seconds for glucose, 8 seconds for ketones
- reduced blood sample volume: 0.5 μL for glucose, 0.8 μL for ketone
