Accu-Answer 4 in 1 Multi-Functional Monitor

Accu-Answer 4 in 1 Multi-Functional Monitor (Glucose, Cholesterol, Uric Acid, Haemoglobin Test)

Feature:

1. Tests 4 parameters in one device: Total Cholesterol, Blood Glucose, Uric Acid, Haemoglobin (Haemoglobin/Hb)
2. Uses both capillary whole blood (finger prick) and venous whole blood samples.
3. Tiny sample volume: about 0.5 µL for most tests (glucose, haemoglobin, uric acid), a little more for cholesterol (~5 µL) in some models.
4. Fast measurement / response time:
5. - Cholesterol: ~ 15 seconds
6. - Uric Acid: ~ 5 s
7. - Blood Glucose: ~ 5 s
8. - Haemoglobin: ~ 5 s in many versions; in one listing haemoglobin is noted as 10 s
9. Measuring (range) – approximate ranges:
10. - Total Cholesterol: about 103-413 mg/dL (≈ 2.58-10.34 mmol/L)
11. - Uric Acid: about 1.5-19.83 mg/dL, (≈90-1190 µmol/L) in some specs.
12. - Blood Glucose: about 20-600 mg/dL
13. - Haemoglobin: about 5-26 g/dL
14. Units: mg/dL, mmol/L, µmol/L, g/dL depending on parameter.
15. Hematocrit (Hct) range the device can handle: 20-60%
16. Operating conditions:
17. - Temperature: about 10-40 °C
18. - Humidity: about 10-90% relative humidity; “better conditions” at ~ 40-60% humidity and 20-25 °C.
19. Power supply: 2 × AAA batteries (≈ DC 3V) or via USB in certain models.
20. Size & weight:
21. - Dimensions: around 111 × 59 × 16 mm
22. - Weight: approx 110 grams (without batteries)
23. Memory: stores user test result history
24. - Some versions: 400 results with date & time
25. - Others: 800 results in some listings.
26. Automatic power-off: about 3 minutes after last user action to save power.

🩺 How to Use the Device

📦 Before You Start

1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
2. Make sure the meter has batteries installed and is turned off.
3. Have ready:
4. Matching test strips (each parameter uses its own kind of strip)
5. Sterile lancet + lancing device
6. Alcohol swab
7. Cotton or tissue

⚙️ Step-by-Step Testing

1. Insert the Test Strip

1. Select the correct strip for the parameter you want (Glucose / Cholesterol / Uric Acid / Haemoglobin).
2. Insert the strip into the slot until it clicks.
3. The meter turns on automatically and displays the parameter name.

2. Prepare Your Finger

1. Use an alcohol swab to clean the fingertip.
2. Load the lancet into the lancing device.
3. Prick the side of the fingertip and gently squeeze to get a drop of blood.

3. Apply Blood Sample

1. Touch the blood drop to the strip’s sample area.
2. The meter will beep or show a progress symbol once it has enough blood.
3. The countdown timer starts automatically.

⏱ Typical reading times:

1. Glucose: ~5 sec
2. Uric Acid: ~5 sec
3. Haemoglobin: ~5–10 sec
4. Cholesterol: ~15 sec

4. Read and Save the Result

1. The result will appear on the screen with the units (mg/dL or g/dL).
2. The meter automatically stores the result with date & time.
3. Remove and discard the used strip safely in a sharps container or sealed bag.

5. Power Off & Clean Up

1. The meter turns off automatically after about 3 minutes, or you can press the power button.
2. Dispose of the used lancet and clean the lancing device tip with alcohol if needed.
3. Store the meter and strips in a dry, room-temperature place.

⚡ Tips for Accurate Results

1. Always use the correct strip type for the parameter.
2. Use fresh blood each time (do not smear or reapply).
3. Keep strips sealed and dry (humidity can damage them).
4. Calibrate or use the code chip if the test strip package includes one.
5. Avoid testing if your hands are cold or wet.
