Glucocard Vital blood glucose monitoring system approved

The FDA has approved Arkray’s Glucocard Vital blood glucose monitoring system. The Glucocard Vital meter and strip platform is auto-coded, requires only 0.5microliter of blood, holds 250 downloadable tests in its memory, and has a glucose oxydase (GO) strip chemistry that is not affected by interferences that cause testing errors in other common test strips.

The Glucocard Vital meter and strip platform is expected to be available in early December 2009.
