VivaChek Ino blood glucose monitoring features

VivaChek Ino Design Features

The VivaChek Ino blood glucose meter benefits from advanced technology with 8 electrodes per strip to give your patient reliable results over the widest ranges of haematocrit, humidity and operating temperatures.

The automatic control solution recognition means that your patient's blood glucose measurements cannot be confused with control readings.

The VivaChek Ino has been designed to be intuitive to use, with the instructions written in clear, simple English.

The meter containing a unique algorithm to compensate for extreme variations in haematocrit (20 to 70%), temperature (5 to 45C) and humidity makes it suitable for both self test and professional use in clinic.
