An Accu-Chek system requires three components to take a blood sugar reading:

• The metre system is a small device that interprets and displays the blood sugar level. It can be connected to phone apps to document and save information for later reference.
• The test strips have two sides — one that is inserted into the meter and one that contains a dosing area.
• Lancing devices are used to draw blood on the fingertip to be used for blood sugar readings. They are safe, easy to use, and virtually painless for the best possible experience.

• Medical, dental, and healthy living clinics

• Health-conscious individuals
• Individuals looking to monitor their glucose levels

How do Accu-Chek strips work?

There are two sides to an Accu-Chek test strip — the side that is inserted into the device and the side that contains the dosing area for the sample collection.

The device side of the strip contains a small microchip made from a very thin layer of gold. It has been etched to match the meter system’s circuit, so when it is inserted, the circuit is completed and ready to be used.

The dosing side soaks up the blood sample and converts the glucose present into an electrical current. The higher the blood sugar, the higher the electrical current. The monitor can display an accurate reading based on the strength of the current.

We offer complete monitors or durable and washable cuffs and adapters separately, as well as sphygmomanometers.

Our blood pressure monitor cuffs come in various sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. Additionally, we also offer blood pressure monitors specifically designed for kids. The models for children (17-22 cm) make it easy for parents and caregivers to take accurate readings of a child's blood pressure.

Why Is It Important to Monitor Blood Pressure Regularly?

Monitoring blood pressure is essential for maintaining good health and preventing serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps it around the body. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can cause damage to the arteries and lead to a range of serious health complications.

Regular blood pressure monitoring is vital to identify high blood pressure early on and take appropriate measures to manage it. It can also help detect any changes in blood pressure that may occur due to certain medical conditions. This information can be used to adjust treatment plans, make lifestyle changes, and improve overall health outcomes.

Blood Pressure Monitors: FAQ

How often should I use my blood pressure monitor?

The frequency of use depends on your doctor's recommendation. However, it is generally recommended to measure your blood pressure at least once a day or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Could you explain how blood pressure monitors work?

Blood pressure monitors measure the pressure of blood flowing through the arteries. There are two types of monitors: manual and digital. Manual monitors use a cuff that is inflated with a pump and then deflated slowly while a healthcare provider listens for the sound of blood flow with a stethoscope. Digital monitors use sensors to detect the pressure and display the results on a screen.

What are the different types of blood pressure monitors?

There are two types of blood pressure monitors: upper-arm monitors and wrist monitors. Upper-arm monitors are more accurate than wrist monitors, but wrist monitors are more convenient and portable.

Are blood pressure monitors covered by insurance?

Some insurance plans cover the cost of a blood pressure monitor, but it depends on the plan. Check with your insurance provider to see if they cover the cost of a blood pressure monitor.
