Dear All
We use some of our Abbott PXP meters for both ketones and glucose. They
are both set to 24hr lock out but they do not need to be qc'd for both
every 24hrs but only when needed. We provide a laminated card of
instructions which is kept with the meter - see attached. Although it
asks for ketones qc first if you insert a glucose strip it will
recognise it as such so ketone can be bypassed. Ignore it asking for
ketones after the glucose qc and return to the main menu.
I hope this helps.
Please note my new e mail address.

The glucose (and ketone) QC lockout/warning interval for the Abbott
connected meters can be changed or disabled. We have glucose and ketone
QC lockouts set to different time intervals. If the glucose QC was
expired, would that prevent you doing a ketone test?

Hi
I ruled out the Abbott meter for ketone only testing as you still have
to QC the machine for glucose as well. As we have Roche glucose meters,
that was way too complicated for the staff!

We understand that you cannot turn off the glucose function on the
Abbott machine, is this true?

Hi Caroline,
We're in the middle of a blood glucose and ketone monitoring tender so
will be interested to read any replies you receive. There is also the
Abbott FreeStyle Precision Pro (formerly Precision Xceed Pro) blood
glucose and ketone monitoring system which is also connectable. This
newer version also has wireless capability.
Hope this helps,
Kerry

Dear All,
We are currently evaluating the Nova StatStrip ketone machine. Does
anyone have any good/bad experience to share for this device?
We would also be interested to know if anyone is using or aware of any
other PoC ketone machines from other providers with are connectable.
Thanks in advance,
Caroline Addison
