Blood Glucose Monitoring Test Strips Improved
|
By LabMedica International staff writers Posted on 24 Nov 2009 |
A new and improved blood glucose monitoring test strip has been launched.
The Assure Pro blood glucose monitoring system is designed for long-term care and multiresident use settings. Feature loaded, the Assure Pro meter helps facilities meet state regulatory standards and provide better resident care. The strips require 50% less blood, reducing the sample size from 1 µL to only 0.5 µL. All Assure blood glucose-monitoring systems utilize glucose oxidase (GO) strip chemistry, which is not affected by interferences that cause testing errors in other common test strips.
Assure Blood Glucose Meters are backed by the Assure Brilliance program--a comprehensive service program for diabetes management in long-term care (LTC). Assure Brilliance provides customer service, on-site training, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) guidance, diabetes F-Tag advice for LTC, a quarterly newsletter, online CE programs, and more to help facilities manage complex diabetes care in their facilities.
Arkray Inc. (Edina, MN, USA), a manufacturer of diabetes self-monitoring systems, launched the new and improved Blood Glucose Monitoring Test Strip. The company manufactures and distributes cost-effective products that are simple, convenient, and easy-to-use, including blood glucose meters, test strips, safety lancets, and urine chemistry.
