FreeStyle Precision Pro
The first and only* blood glucose monitoring system designed for the hospital with Triple Protection
Safeguard the integrity of your hospital’s blood glucose and ketone point-of-care testing process with the FreeStyle Precision Pro system
Real-time1 dual-band wireless communication to keep patient records up to date
Immediate patient test results, when and where you need them.
- Rapid access to test results anywhere2 in the hospital
- Streamlined workflow – no docking required
- Dual-band wireless for more connectivity options3
2D barcode technology for better patient tracking
Helps improve safety, efficiency and ID tracking.
- Reads 1D and 2D barcodes enabling transition to new technology
- Camera based reader eliminates risk of laser eye contact
- 2D barcodes are easily scanned on curved patient wristbands4
- Store more information in less space with 2D barcodes5
Designed for improved accuracy and haematocrit performance
Helps enhance bedside accuracy for better patient care.
- Meets current ISO 15197 and CLSI POCT12 accuracy standards7
- Haematocrit compensation from 15% to 65% enhances accuracy – covers >99% of the hospital patient population8
- In clinical studies, >99% of results with FreeStyle Precision Pro glucose test strips were within ±0.83 mmol/L or ±15% of laboratory reference7
- Protects against exposure to air, moisture, and other contaminants to help ensure accurate results9,10
- Protects against cross contamination to help minimise the risk of exposure to pathogens
- In a recent study, 25.7% of test strips in open vials tested positive for bacteria, posing a risk of bacterial transmission between patients5
Anti-microbial materials for enhanced safety
Minimise the risk of microbial colonisation.
- The only leading blood glucose meter designed with anti-microbial materials6
- Reduced surface colonisation by common Gram-negative pathogens by 99.99% in independent testing11
State-of-the-art safety
- Anti-microbial materials are designed to reduce bacterial colonisation1
- Individually foil-wrapped test strips minimise the risk of exposure to pathogens
- On-meter display shows patient and operator ID confirmation
State-of-the-art communication
- Dual-band wireless for more connectivity options3
- Automatic upload of patient results to electronic medical records12
- Real-time data sharing11
State-of-the-art performance
- Meets current ISO 15197 and CLSI POCT12 accuracy guidelines7
- 5-second blood glucose test time for fast bedside results
- Automatic calibration and expiry date check via the strip barcode scan
Individually foil-wrapped test strips
Sterile – protected from the air, humidity and other contaminants to ensure accurate results13,14- Ideal for use in isolation wards to minimise the risk of cross contamination
- Designed with convenient automatic calibration to guarantee reliable results
- Quick and easy to open due to notched foil wrapper
- Individually barcoded to enable ‘Automatic Lockout’, which prevents inaccuracies that can occur due to the use of expired test strips15
