Executive Summary
Arkray USA has launched a "new and improved" Assure Pro blood glucose monitoring test strip. The new product requires 0.5 microlitres of blood, compared with 1 microlitre with the previous version. It also exceeds the US FDA's proposed increased accuracy guidelines, the Edina, Minnesota-based division of the Japanese diagnostics firm claims. In a recent study, 100% of results fall within 15% of those from a lab test, and 98% fall within 10%. The Assure Pro blood glucose monitoring system is designed for long-term care and multi-resident settings.
