Key Features
The Accutrend GC meter is one of the few meters available
on the market which can accurately check cholesterol levels.
The meter can be used by both physicians or patients.
With the Accutrend GC you can measure blood cholesterol levels
by a simple prick of the finger which can be done at home
or in surgery. Only a small amount of blood is needed as opposed
to the traditional lab test where much more is required.
The Accutrend GC meter is both fast and easy to use and is
most suited for accurate screening, diagnosis and monitoring
of both cholesterol and glucose levels.

and glucose.
- Clear large digital display

glucose in 12 seconds.
- Portable unit - the meter is easy to carry around
- Storage of results - up to 15 cholesterol readings with
date and time can be stored and up to 50 glucose readings.
- Small sample - no need for injections to remove blood
from the arm, accurate readings can be obtained by a simple

- Low cost - compared to carrying the test at a laboratory
The proven technology of the Accutrend GC meter, Accutrend
Glucose tests strips and Accutrend Cholesterol test strips
has lead to 200,000 products being sold.
How the Accutrend GC meter works
When a blood sample is placed on the Accutrend Cholesterol
test strip, the the Accutrend GC meter measures the intensity
of the reaction colour within the specially coated test strips
using a technology called "reflectance photometry".
The meter then calculates the concentration of the sample
through a "lot-specific" algorithm. The end result
is a cholesterol reading. This reading can be displayed both
in mmol/l or mg/dl.
