Accutrend Plus Basic Meter Kit (wtih Cholesterol & Glucose Strips)

The new Accutrend Plus system is a flexible handheld device ideal for professional use in non-hospital settings, such as community health screening fairs, physicians' offices, home healthcare agencies, and pharmacies.

The Accutrend Plus system uses the same strip technology that healthcare professionals have trusted in the ACCU-CHEK InstantPlus since 1997. This next-generation meter features a bigger, easy-to-read display and a sleek ergonomic design for easy handling.

Reliable, convenient strip technology

Accutrend Glucose and Accutrend Cholesterol test strips provide fast, reliable results using the chemistry that has been proven for more than a decade in the ACCU-CHEK InstantPlus system. The strips can be stored at room temperature and can be dosed outside of the meter, which helps prevent cross-contamination and makes the system ideal for community health screenings.

Cholesterol results in just three minutes

Cholesterol screening helps healthcare professionals and others identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. The Accutrend Plus system provides a simple, CLIA-waived test that delivers total cholesterol results in just three minutes. When patients with abnormal cholesterol levels are identified, their healthcare providers can help them quickly take the next step to better health by beginning an effective treatment program.

Blood glucose results in 12 seconds

Glucose testing helps caregivers and patients with diabetes monitor blood sugar levels and ensure that appropriate therapeutic interventions are made as quickly as possible, to reduce the chance of developing potentially life-threatening complications.

CLIA-waived and easy to use, the Accutrend Plus system makes cholesterol and blood glucose monitoring a simple part of every office visit or community health screening program.

Accutrend Plus system benefits

• Convenient - lets you monitor both cholesterol and glucose with one easy-to-use, handheld meter
• Out-of-meter dosing - ability to add blood to the strip outside the meter helps prevent cross-contamination and improve patient safety, make it well - suited for the community health screening environment.
• Fast, reliable results - helps healthcare provider make accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment decisions.
• Portability - lightweight, ergonomic design makes meter easy to handle and operate
• Large display - easy-to-read screen helps user view results and interpret them accurately
• Onboard QC - built-in performance quality control testing uses multiple checks to ensure accurate and reliable results
• Positive strip lot ID - Positive identification of strip lot and code parameters helps ensure accurate results and proper system performance
• Enhanced memory - Meter stores up to 100 results for each test parameter (glucose and cholesterol)

Features & Function

Four parameters - one mobile device

The Accutrend Plus device offers quantitative results for glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and lactate directly from capillary blood. For each of these parameters Accutrend Plus uses specially designed test strips from Roche.

Accutrend Plus measures the intensity of the reaction color within the reaction layer of the test strip by reflectance photometry and calculates the parameter concentration of the sample through a lot-specific algorithm. The result is displayed in mg/dl or mmol/l (BM-Lactate only in mmol/l) and stored automatically with date, time, and additional information. The Accutrend Plus meter stores up to 100 results for each parameter.

Superior test strip technology

Accutrend Plus uses specially designed Accutrend Glucose, Accutrend Cholesterol, Accutrend Triglycerides and BM-Lactate superior quality test strips. The test strips contain

• a yellow protective mesh, impregnated with a surfactant (application field)
• a glass fiber fleece that works as a separating layer for blood cells)
• a reaction film in which the color formation takes place and)
• a bar code on the reverse side, which is read by the meter to confirm test strip identity, i.e. the lot number on the test strip is congruent with the stored code)

Built-in safety features

• With its built-in automatic performance and meter self-testing, Accutrend Plus conducts multiple safety checks to prevent against potential errors and malfunction, so you can rely on accurate results.
• Accutrend Plus lets you apply blood onto the strip inside or outside the meter. For example, when conducting multiple tests where cross contamination might be an issue, you can apply blood outside the device.
• Code strips with positive strip lot identification and parameter recognition are used to calibrate the device - an added safety feature, which ensures system performance level is maintained.
• The control solutions Accutrend Control Chol (cholesterol), Accutrend Control GLU (glucose), Accutrend Control TG (triglycerides), and BM-Control Lactate can be used for additional performance checks.

Technical data

Step 1: Switch on the meter

Switch on the meter and insert the test strip into the test strip guide. A blinking arrow calls on you to open the cover of the measuring chamber for application of blood.

Step 2: Application of blood

Take a drop of blood from the tip of your finger or ear. Put the drop of blood directly on the yellow application field within 15 seconds. Do not touch the application field with your finger. You may also apply blood outside the meter. In this case, please follow the manual of your Accutrend Plus system.

Step 3: Measurement

Close the cover of the measuring chamber and wait for the result. All further processing is done automatically by the instrument. After the reaction time the result will be shown on the display. Values outside the measuring range will be displayed as Hi (above measuring range) or Lo (below measuring range).
