The main features at a glance
Test cassette instead of test strips
The test cassette contains a continuous tape on
which there are 50 test areas. When a test is to be
performed, a test area is automatically advanced to
the tip of the cassette.
Easy testing
For testing, you do not need to press a single button.
You open the tip cover, lance, apply blood to the test
YY
area, read the result and close the tip cover.
Docked lancing device
You can obtain blood with the lancing device still
YY
docked onto the meter. Or you can undock the
lancing device and then use it to obtain blood.
Lancing device with lancet supply
A drum containing 6 sterile lancets is placed in the
lancing device. Pushing the lever on the lancing
device rotates the drum to the next lancet. This
means that you can obtain blood with a new and
sterile lancet 6 times before you have to replace the
drum.
No coding
Each test cassette contains an RFID (
r
adio
f
requency
id
enti
fi
cation) chip. This automatically codes the
meter when you insert a test cassette and informs
the meter about the speci
fi
c properties of the test
areas in this test cassette.
