This little meter boasts to be the next big thing in the fight with Diabetes. Much like traditional meters, this one holds 500 tests in its memory, and has a drum for its testing.
What is unique is the fact that this meter is “All-in-One”. That’s right, this meter’s lancing device is built right in. You simply place your finger over the blue circle, and in four seconds you have your results.
This is suppose to make testing more of a snap, and discrete. Now I can see how this would be handy for some. But one of the biggest draw backs that I can see thusly is that there are only 10 tests per cartridge. Now maybe they’ll offer more when the machine is actually released here in the next couple of months when it get’s its FDA approval.
But I want more tests other than 10. If they could make a meter with a 50 or 100 drum then that would be totally sweet. But the manufactures are promising that this new guy will be cheaper and leave less of a dent on your wallet than its competitors.
So here is the specks of this meter
- All-in-One testing means less supplies to lug around
- discrete testing capabilities
- 500 test memory
- 7, 14, 30 day average
- large LCD display
- Data Management Software included
- 4 second count testing
- tiny 250 nanoliters blood sample
- easy one handed operation
So you know as soon as it comes out I will review it further, but for now it is still under consideration for FDA Approval.
CAUTION: Investigational device. Limited by Federal law to investigational use. The POGO™ Blood Glucose Meter requires 510(k) FDA clearance and is presently not for sale.
