The
HemoCue Glucose 201 System provides lab quality blood glucose
values for screening, monitoring and diagnosis of diabetes.
Absorbency values are measured at two wavelengths to compensate
for turbidity in the sample. Zero-setting between measurements
is automatic, as is compensation
for any change in the condition of the light source and/or photocell.
A control cuvette is provided for checking the photometer function.
It can operate on standard AC power or 5 AA batteries. Instrument
includes a one-year warranty. Potential
side effects of cholesterol-lowering drug therapies is now available.
