AgaMatrix Presto Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips

The AgaMatrix Presto blood glucose meter and test strips are designed for accuracy at a price that is considerably lower than most of its competitors. People with diabetes enjoy the benefits of accurate blood glucose testing results at a price they can truly afford. This helps to put accurate test results within reach for everyone along with a host of convenient features for easier handling.

Proprietary Technology Puts Accuracy First

Accurate blood glucose data is an important aspect of managing your diabetes. Medical professionals and people with diabetes rely on the results of blood glucose testing to make decisions about treatment. The AgaMatrix blood glucose meter uses WaveSense Dynamic Electrochemistry to provide optimal accuracy. This proprietary technology is able to detect common sources of error. Corrections are made to give people with diabetes clinically proven accuracy. Treatment can follow with more information and less problems.

Factors That Impact the Accuracy of Blood Glucose Testing Results

Three major factors can affect the accuracy of blood glucose readings. These include temperature, altitude, and hematocrit, which is a person’s red blood cell level. The AgaMatrix Presto blood glucose meter is designed to be accurate. The current standard in the United States for accurate performance allows for ±20% variation (95 percent of the time) from the laboratory standard. In other words, a reading of 200 mg/dL can vary from 160 to 240. The AgaMatrix Presto performs within ±10% of a laboratory standard which means 93 percent of the time. This makes a difference because decisions about diabetes self-management are often based on the results of blood glucose readings. These reports can have an impact on choices such as eating decisions and how much insulin should be administered. These results can also affect a patient’s safety and risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia in the immediate time frame.

Features of the AgaMatrix Presto Monitoring System

Despite its affordable price, the AgaMatrix Presto blood glucose meter offers a full range of features for greater comfort and accuracy. Included are:

• An ergonomic design makes it easier to handle
• No coding is required for faster results with no hassles.
• Minimal blood is needed with a small sample size of just 0.5 µL.
• Alternative site testing makes it possible for people with diabetes to give their fingers a rest (always check with your health care provider about their preference for your testing sites).
• The system works in 3 simple steps for ease of use.
• The large, backlight design makes it a breeze to read test results, even for patients with visual issues.
• Patients can keep track of blood glucose testing results and share them with their health care team as the system stores up to 300 results.
• Patterns can be detected immediately with a display that provides 14, 30, and 90-day averages.
• On screen graphing makes it even simpler to chart blood sugar patterns.
• Users can stay on-track with administering insulin, medication, and eating regular meals with 6 user settable alarms.
• Be aware of potential health issues before they reach crisis proportions with hypo/hyperglycemic notification alarms.

The Benefits of Visual Reports

Another beneficial feature of the AgaMatrix Presto monitoring system is the capability to average blood glucose test results in intervals of 14, 30, and 90 days. It can graph these results on the screen to make patterns visual and instantly detectable. This lets people with diabetes recognize key points to discuss with their health care team so necessary changes in self-management may be made. The results of testing can be downloaded via a convenient USB connection so patients can view their numbers in reports that are easy to understand. This is an excellent tool to share with your physician.

AgaMatrix Presto Blood Glucose Test Strips

The AgaMatrix Presto test strips are meant to be used with the AgaMatrix Presto blood glucose monitoring system. A box of 50 tests strips can provide the quick, accurate results people with diabetes need. Consider the benefits of using AgaMatrix Presto test strips:

• Alternative site testing means people can use other parts of the body to draw blood when their fingers need a rest.
• The small blood sample sizes mean minimal blood needs to be drawn to get accurate results.
• No coding is needed to save time, improve accuracy and avoid hassles.
• Test results are provided quickly, within an average of just 6 seconds, for greater peace of mind.
