Key Features & Clinical Applications
-
TRIPLE SENSE TECHNOLOGY®: Features an advanced complex algorithm that seamlessly tests the chemical environment, corrects for hematocrit fluctuations, and evaluates localized ambient temperatures to yield consistent readings.
-
Tiny 0.5 microliter Sample Size: Minimizes patient discomfort during routine skin punctures by requiring only a minute droplet of blood, allowing the use of finer, less painful lancets.
-
Hydrophilic Capillary Action: The diagnostic strip tip quickly draws the blood sample into the reactive zone via rapid horizontal capillary wicking, preventing premature dosing errors.
-
No-Coding Setup: Simplifies facility workflows and safeguards against critical calculation mistakes caused by manual code entry mismatches.
-
Clinical Compatibility: Specifically engineered for exclusive use with the McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO Professional Meter (#06-RE4051P-00) and validated with TRUE METRIX® Control Solutions (#06-R5051-1, #06-R5051-2, #06-R5051-3).
⚠️ Usage Note: Intended for Professional Monitoring. Unlike standard consumer test strips, the TRUE METRIX® PRO series is uniquely validated for point-of-care environments and multi-patient healthcare settings.
⚠️ Handling Protocol: Store strips solely inside their original, tightly closed vial container. Exposure to environmental humidity or open air quickly degrades the active glucose dehydrogenase enzymes on the reactive pad, causing false results.
⚠️ Temperature Constraints: Store the vial at a dry room temperature between 4°C to 30°C (40°F to 86°F). Never freeze test strips or expose them to direct solar heat.
