Test Strip Design - NIPRO Diagnostics True Metrix Pro Manual

TRUE METRIX PRO Test Strips –
®
Featuring TRIPLE SENSE TECHNOLOGY
No Coding Technology eliminates the need for coding
of the meter.
• Code is assigned during manufacturing process
• Code is printed onto contacts on end of test strip
• Meter reads code on insertion
Advanced technologies – the meter, a complex
algorithm, chemistry and electrodes – on the test
strip work together as part of the TRUE METRIX®
PRO system to produce accurate results.
Featuring TRIPLE SENSE TECHNOLOGY™, the
system provides proven accuracy and confidence in
results.

DETECT
™
Sample Environment
• An electrode pair on the test
strip detects hematocrit
• An internal unit in the meter
detects temperature
Sample Size
• System triggers proper fill
detection eliminating errors
due to improper sample size
Control
• Detects control solution and automatically identifies
results in memory for accurate data trending
ANALYZE
Environmental and
Physiological Factors
• Every system analyzes the testing
environment for hematocrit and
temperature, which could impact
or influence the accuracy of results
• Testing outside of specified operating temperature
range is marked by an error code – eliminating
incorrect results
CORRECT
Hematocrit/Temperature
Variables
• Employs a Proprietary
Dynamic Adaptive
Algorithm, which incorporates:
– Active hematocrit correction
– Temperature compensation
• Combined, this algorithm corrects results based
on the testing environment
• Ensures proven accuracy and confidence in results
