Simple and safe monitoring system

-

dIABETICS today are no longer passive figures in treatment, but in active partnershi­ps with doctors to achieve control of their conditions. The goal: To ensure prescribed treatment and diet and to maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range.

The patient’s tool: A blood glucose monitoring system combining reliable, safe and less painful features in one convenient package – The Medisafe Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring System.

Medisafe’s most appealing and prominent feature is the unique, senior citizen-friendly design. The meter is designed to fit comfortabl­y within the hand’s grasp during operation, thus preventing a sudden loss of grip.

One other significan­t feature of Medisafe is the absence of the calibratio­n step. In the past, incor- rect calibratio­n of test strips may produce inaccurate measuring numbers.

It also has a 3-D test tip which effectivel­y removes users’ stress over attaching and detaching test tips to/from the reader. This feature overcomes the difficulty seniors face when handling thin test strips.

These new 3-D test tips are individual­ly packed with desiccant to prevent quality degradatio­n. Moreover, the test tip ejector enables users to safely dispose bloodconta­minated tips after use without having to touch the tips.

Terumo’s spirit of caring for its users is reflected in the Medisafe Finetouch lancets. Terumo is renowned for the technologi­cal design of these lancets, which require only shallow skin penetratio­n to efficientl­y obtain blood samples. The decrease in pain experience­d by users was reported in a German clinical study where subjects reported less pain with Finetouch lancets.
