The Wellion CALLA Blood Glucose Test Strip
The Wellion CALLA Test Strips are glucose specic, biosensor-based test
strips that can test glucose in capillary whole blood in as quickly as 6
seconds and require very little blood sample.
The No Code feature eliminates error in testing caused by incorrect coding
or calibration procedure. The test result is plasma referenced for easy
comparison to lab results and has under-ll detection to alert you when
there is not enough blood to perform a test, so you can be assure that each
reading you get is an accurate and meaningful result.
