Features and Benefits

Hand-Held Monitor	The hand-held design of the monitor allows
	it to be easily brought to the patient for testing.
Simplified Data Entry	The monitor contains a built-in barcode scanner
	which allows the operator to enter patient
	identification, operator identification, test strip lot
	number and other pertinent data by simply scanning
	a barcode.
Easy Operation	To perform a test, a test strip is inserted into the
	monitor’s test strip port, and a small drop of blood
	is applied to the target area on the test strip.
Rapid Test Results	The monitor automatically begins testing as soon as
	the sample is detected on the test strip. Results are
	displayed in 20 seconds.
Easy Home Training	The monitor’s design and operation are similar to
	other MediSense monitors, making it easy to educate
	patients on home self-testing procedures.
Infection Control	The risk of contamination to operator and patient
	is minimized since the blood does not enter the
	monitor.
Improved Test Strip	The Precision PCx System uses unique biosensor
Technology	technology to obtain accurate results over a broad
	range of patient hematocrit levels and sample types.
	Precision PCx Test Strips and Precision PCx Plus
	Test Strips with TrueMeasure™ Technology are
	approved for use with arterial, venous, capillary and
	neonatal whole blood samples.
Minimal Maintenance	The monitor’s exterior surface needs only to be
	wiped down once a day, or as needed, and the
	batteries need to be replaced or recharged when
	necessary.
