Hello,
Kyoto blood glucose meter (now renamed as ARKRAY blood glucose meter), generally when you suspect that your instrument is inaccurate, you can have the following options: 1. Do quality control detection.
2. If possible, it is best to compare it with the biochemical analyzer of a large hospital or a diabetes hospital.
As for quality control testing, generally speaking, when the manufacturer ships a batch of test strips, it will deliver several bottles of quality control solution with concentrations of low (L), medium (M), and high. (H). The medium-concentration quality control solution was the most detected. If you purchased it at a local pharmacy or hospital, you can take the instrument (with the invoice and warranty card) to the place of purchase for quality control testing. Quality control testing is actually similar to blood testing. Insert the test paper strip into the instrument (the calibration code needs to match the test paper), drop in the quality control solution, and wait for the results. If the displayed results are within the range specified by the quality control solution, the instrument is normal. Otherwise, it can be sent back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement (valid for 5 years).
The quality control tests mentioned above are all quality control liquid tests, and most blood glucose meters use quality control liquid tests (such as Roche, Johnson & Johnson, Sannuo, Aiko, etc.).
The quality control strips (quality control solutions) you mentioned are generally not available for purchase. They are generally not for sale and are only available from dealers, and hospitals and pharmacies purchase them through dealers. If the hospital pharmacy where you purchased the instrument does not have it, ask them to ask the dealer for it.
If your instrument was purchased online, it is recommended that you compare it with a biochemical instrument for blood comparison. This is more authoritative than quality control.
Hope it helps you
