Monitor glycemic control and diabetes complications using an analyzer designed to make consultations easier. Fast, actionable test results enable you to determine the effectiveness of a treatment plan, make therapeutic adjustments with confidence, and be more certain whether patients are complying with your recommendations.

Monitor glycemic control

• HbA1c from a small (1 µL) whole blood sample in 6 minutes
• Flexible reporting of HbA1c% (NGSP, JDS, and Mono-S units) and IFCC (mmol/mol)
• Reporting of HbA1c results as Estimated Average Glucose values in the same units (mg/dL) that patients’ home glucose meters display
• HbA1c patient trending graphs can be viewed or printed

Detect early kidney disease

• Albumin, Creatinine, and Albumin-to-Creatinine (A:C) ratio from a urine specimen in 7 minutes to report a quantitative protein status with automatic creatinine adjustment
• Onboard GFR calculator indexes kidney function

Improve workflow in the office or clinic

• Self-contained cartridges facilitate easy, walkaway operation after sample loading
• No sample or reagent preparation required
• Bar-code scanner for safer and faster patient/operator ID entry
• Review results on-screen or generate a hard copy report to minimize transcription errors in the office
• Convenient local storage of up to 4,000 onboard records with powerful sorting capabilities
• Automatically upload results to a PC via a USB flash drive to reduce manual logging and save time
