A1CNow+ (10 Pack)
Product Code: HB-3057
Quick, efficient, and accurate, this portable Point of Care device measures glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), in 5 minutes from a single drop of blood.
It is an ideal device for any clinical setting – an excellent support tool for monitoring and managing your patient’s health as part of routine health checks or in more complex conditions such as diabetes mellitus.
HbA1c is a good indicator for blood glucose levels over a period of 8 – 12 weeks. This is particularly useful in diabetes where good, long-term glycaemic control is essential. A reduction in HbA1c has been shown to reduce the risk of certain diabetes-related complications1. Knowing your patient’s HbA1c levels at the time of consultation is vital in the management of the patient, and can be a powerful motivator for your patient to achieve better glycaemic control.
The A1CNow®+ professional system allows you to monitor the HbA1c levels in 5 minutes using a drop of fingerstick blood. Fast, easy and accurate results - laboratory quality can be obtained in minutes.
