PRECISION XTRA KETONE STRIPS 10 COUNT

Precision Xtra Ketone Strips

The Precision Xtra Ketone Strips are designed to provide accurate and reliable measurements of blood ketone levels, helping individuals with diabetes or those on a ketogenic diet monitor their ketone levels and manage their health effectively. Compatible with the Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Meter, these strips allow you to test for ketosis and identify diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a dangerous condition that can occur when ketone levels become too high.

Key Features:

• Accurate Ketone Measurements: The Precision Xtra Ketone Strips offer high accuracy in detecting blood ketone levels. This ensures you receive reliable and precise results, which are essential for effectively managing ketosis or detecting the onset of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
  
  

• Easy to Use: These strips are designed to be simple and easy to use with the Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Meter. Just insert the strip into the meter, apply your blood sample, and the meter provides a quick reading of your ketone levels in just a few seconds.
  
  

• Small Blood Sample Required: The Precision Xtra Ketone Strips require a small blood sample of just 1-2 microliters, making them less invasive and more comfortable for frequent testing.
  
  

• Quick Results: These strips deliver fast results, allowing you to get your ketone reading in as little as 10 seconds, providing you with quick feedback on your metabolic state.
  
  

• Compatible with Precision Xtra Meter: The Precision Xtra Ketone Strips are specifically designed for use with the Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Meter, ensuring a seamless and accurate testing experience. The meter adjusts automatically to the ketone strips, providing reliable results each time.
  
  

• Detect Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA): Monitoring your ketone levels with Precision Xtra Ketone Strips can help detect diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) early, a serious condition that can arise when ketone levels rise too high in people with type 1 diabetes. Early detection can lead to prompt intervention and help prevent complications.
  
  

• Long Shelf Life: The test strips have a long shelf life** and are packaged to protect them from moisture, ensuring they remain effective and accurate for the duration of their use.
  
  

How It Works:

1. Insert the Ketone Strip: Insert a Precision Xtra Ketone Strip into the Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Meter. The meter will automatically turn on and prepare for testing.
   
   

2. Obtain a Blood Sample: Use a lancing device to obtain a small blood sample (only 1-2 microliters needed). The small sample size reduces discomfort and makes testing easier.
   
   

3. Apply the Blood Sample: Place the blood sample onto the edge of the ketone strip. The meter will process the sample and display the results.
   
   

4. View the Result: The Precision Xtra Meter will show your ketone level in 10 seconds, giving you the information you need to understand whether you are in a state of ketosis or at risk for DKA.
   
   

5. Record and Track Results: Store your results in the meter's memory or log them for future reference to track your ketone levels over time.

Important Information:

• Use with Precision Xtra Meter: These strips are designed specifically for use with the Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Meter, and results are only accurate when used with this meter.
  
  

• Storage: Store the Precision Xtra Ketone Strips in a cool, dry place and keep the vial tightly closed to prevent moisture from affecting the strips. Follow the storage instructions on the packaging to ensure the accuracy of your tests.
  
  

• Expiration Date: Always check the expiration date on the vial before use. Do not use expired test strips, as they may yield inaccurate results.
  
  

• Proper Testing Technique: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully for accurate results. Make sure to handle the test strips properly and apply the blood sample to the correct area of the strip.

Additional Information:

• Ideal for Ketosis Monitoring: The Precision Xtra Ketone Strips are ideal for individuals who are on a ketogenic diet, as they allow you to monitor your ketone levels and ensure you're staying within the optimal range for ketosis.
  
  

Early Detection of DKA: These strips are also essential for individuals with diabetes to monitor for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a potentially life-threatening condition. By testing regularly, you can detect rising ketone levels before they become a serious concern.
