GLUCOCARD(TM) X-METER
This intuitive system requires no coding, displays results in 5 seconds,
requires a tiny 0.3 microliter sample size, and has a 360-count test memory
with time and date stamp. The choice of palm, forearm, upper arm or fingertip
testing, combined with the ability to reapply blood within 10 seconds if the
first drop is too small (double dosing), makes testing simple and
accommodating. It also features a large, easy-to-read display for better
viewing of test results. The GLUCOCARD(TM) X-METER is distinguished by its
leading edge design and technology. "The diabetes community has never seen
such a sleek meter with all the necessary features. We have received
tremendous feedback on how discreet the GLUCOCARD(TM) X-METER is. It is not
your ordinary meter," said Jonathan Chapman, President for ARKRAY USA, Inc.
