Components Descriptions
1. ACCUGENCE® Multi-Monitoring Meter: Reads the test strips for blood glucose,
β-ketone, uric acid and displays each concentration.
2. Test Strips: Strips with a chemical reagent system used with the meter to
measure glucose, β-ketone or uric acid concentration in blood.
3. Calibration Chip: Automatically calibrates the meter with the type of test strips
a patient wants to perform once inserted into the meter.
4. Lancing Device: Used with sterile lancets to prick the fingertip for blood sample
collection. The packaged lancing device has multiple depth settings, allowing
users to adjust the depth of the puncture and minimize discomfort. It can also
eject the used lancets.

Monitoring System by checking the test strips and meter against a pre-
calibrated control solution, which are available in the ACCUGENCE® Multi-
Monitoring System Control Solution package which is sold separately.
Note: For Glucose and β-Ketone control solution, there are three levels with
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. For Uric Acid, there are two levels with Level 1 and
