Key Features The
Accutrend GC meter is one of the few meters available on the market which can
accurately check cholesterol levels. The meter can be used by both physicians
or patients. With the Accutrend GC you can measure blood cholesterol levels
by a simple prick of the finger which can be done at home or in surgery. Only
a small amount of blood is needed as opposed to the traditional lab test where
much more is required. The Accutrend GC meter is both fast and easy to
use and is most suited for accurate screening, diagnosis and monitoring of both
cholesterol and glucose levels. - Two in one system - the meter
can measure both cholesterol and glucose.
- Clear large digital
display
- Measures in mmol/l

with date and time can be stored and up to 50 glucose readings.
- Small

compared to carrying the test at a laboratory
The proven technology
of the Accutrend GC meter, Accutrend Glucose tests strips and Accutrend Cholesterol
test strips has lead to 200,000 products being sold. How the Accutrend
GC meter works When a blood sample is placed on the Accutrend Cholesterol
test strip, the the Accutrend GC meter measures the intensity of the reaction
colour within the specially coated test strips using a technology called "reflectance
photometry". The meter then calculates the concentration of the sample through
a "lot-specific" algorithm. The end result is a cholesterol reading.
