NEW GLUCOSE-TESTING SYSTEM CUTS COST & OFFERS STRESS-FREE PRECISION TESTING
New York, NY, May 19, 2004 – US Diagnostics Inc. launches a fast and affordable blood glucose testing system that takes the stress out of daily testing. The system recently acquired approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is called EASYGLUCO®. The goal of the product is to provide a sophisticated and accurate testing system at an affordable price. EASYGLUCO® achieves fast and accurate results with an extremely small blood sample (3 µl).
EASYGLUCO® users experience pain levels significantly lower than those produced by other leading brands. The bio-sensor technology system delivers clinically accurate results in precisely 9 seconds, thereby eliminating the long wait times associated with most popular glucose testing systems. EASYGLUCO® performs accurately in a wide range of operating temperatures (50_ to 95_ F) and humidity levels (10 – 90%), providing accurate test results in almost any climatic conditions. This adaptability eliminates the concerns about inaccurate testing often experienced by patients who travel. Patients who participate in sports are able to test frequently and accurately due to the portability and short testing time of EASYGLUCO®. There is no longer a need to maintain logs, as the EASYGLUCO® system retains up to 200 test results in memory and provides daily averaging for a period of 7 to 90 days, (intermediate values included).
THE PRICE ADVANTAGE OF EASYGLUCO
Market analysis reveals that blood glucose meters incorporating the latest bio-sensor technology are priced at about $60 retail, considerably outside the acceptable range for most patients. EASYGLUCO® bridges this price gap, providing this technology to the marketplace at an affordable price. EASYGLUCO® offers exceptionally competitive pricing, with test strips and meters as low as 50% the leading market brand prices, as well as a Free Meter-Replacement Program. EASYGLUCO® also carries a comprehensive 3-year warranty plan.
