Autocode Blood Glucose Monitoring System Eliminates Need for Manual Coding

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 03 Feb 2010
A blood glucose monitoring system's autocoding eliminates the need for any other form of manual coding, which can reduce user error, thereby ensuring more consistent, accurate results. These meters are uniquely designed for long-term care and multiresident use settings.

Arkray, Inc. (Edina, MN,USA) has officially launched the new Assure Platinum blood glucose monitoring system. The Assure Platinum is now available for order and ready to ship in the U.S. market. The Assure Platinum blood glucose monitoring system received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Demonstration (FDA) in December 2009. With high demand for an autocode system appropriate for long-term care and multipatient settings means, Arkray anticipates the Assure Platinum will quickly gain market share.

Assure Platinum is the first autocode Assure brand blood-glucose meter. The meter helps facilities meet state regulatory standards and provide better resident care. Assure Blood glucose meters are backed by the Assure Brilliance program, a comprehensive service program from the leaders of diabetes management in long-term care. Assure Brilliance provides customer service, on-site training, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) guidance, diabetes F-Tag advice for long-term care, a quarterly newsletter, online continuing education programs, and more to help facilities manage complex diabetes care in their facilities.
