INTRODUCTION:
McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO
Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter
McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO is a simple, accurate way to
test whole blood glucose (sugar) level, anytime, anywhere. Our
goal is to provide quality healthcare products and dedicated
customer service. For questions about McKesson TRUE
METRIX® PRO products, call 1-800-777-4908.
McKesson recognizes the importance of practicing safe
and reliable testing using the McKesson TRUE METRIX®
PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter. Each
patient should have specic blood glucose target ranges
that are determined by their Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare
Professional. Having most blood glucose results within the
patient’s target range shows how well a treatment plan is
working to control glucose levels. Keeping results within the
patient’s target range helps slow or stop complications from
diabetes.
e McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO Professional Monitoring
Blood Glucose Test Strips are for use with the McKesson
TRUE METRIX® PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose
Meter to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh
capillary whole blood samples drawn from the ngertip or
forearm, or venous whole blood collected only in sodium
heparin vacutainer tubes. e McKesson TRUE METRIX®
PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter measures
current glucose results. It also detects, analyzes and corrects for
hematocrit and temperature, and calculates the glucose result.

lancets to obtain capillary blood sample.
• Alternative site (forearm) testing should not be used to
calibrate continuous glucose monitors (CGMs).
• Alternative site (forearm) testing should not be used for
insulin dose calculations.

cleaning and disinfecting the meter. Wash hands aer
taking o gloves. A new pair of gloves should be worn
before testing each patient.

with a new test strip. Contact the Doctor or Diabetes
Healthcare Professional with any unusual results.
~ Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) symptoms may
include trembling, sweating, intense hunger,
nervousness, weakness or trouble speaking.

experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with
or without ketosis.
• Follow facility protocols to verify blood glucose results
with laboratory results for patients who are unresponsive
or unable to communicate.
