Do I need test strips in order to use this meter to monitor my potassium levels. I found this on the HKPP site but not a lot of info for this one.

The monitor does not require test strips. On the HKPP site, this monitor is possibly a step up from the Cardy monitor.

No strips needed. It uses a built-in sensor which measures K-levels form your saliva.Only thing you might need is the calibrating solution in case it gets over.

No, you calibrate the meter for human test use by adding drops of the supplied baseline liquid. Then you add your saliva and, using the resultant reading, you make a simple conversion calculation, using the supplied table.

In a word, yes. In my experience, there is no need for test strips if you use the tests using the Taylor kit. The test strips are a convenient (if not very accurate) way of getting a very general idea of where your pool is at, but for more granular information, you'll want to use a real test kit (like the Taylor K-2006).

I did not have any strips in my kit. I purchased them separately. BTW, I really like this tester. Easy to use, small sample and the reports it generate are excellent.

No, blood glucose test strips are brand specific True test strips are for True Result or True2go meters from Nipro Diagnostics, FreeStyle meters require FreeStyle branded test strips from Abbott labs, need to verify which meter you have to get correct strips there are FreeStyle and FreeStyle Lite strips and they don't all work with every meter.

I don't know. It's best to buy the ones designed for your meter. Next time you are at your doctor, ask him for a free meter.

There should be a meter which is pictured on the box. I think one disk that has 10 test strips and the tester and some lancets that go in the tester.

I don't remember getting any test strips with the monitor. If I were you I'd buy some at the same time you get the USB monitor.

You need blood strips just like any other blood monitor. You pick your finger add blood to the strip you have put into the monitor. Same an any thohter meter.

The instructions should be on the backs of each packet. It says "dip strip into urine. Take out after 3 seconds and lay the strip flat. Read results in 5 minutes." Don't dip strip past the max line and test line should be about the same darkness or darker as the control line to be counted as positive. These strips are working just fine for me and will order again. I'm wondering which ones you got if they aren't individually wrapped with instructions.

The meter package I purchased included the thermocouple accessory, which had a plug that would connect in the Red voltage(+) and Black (-) common receptacles. It would be possible to probe with the Red and Black test leads that comes with the meter directly to the leads of a J-K thermocouple for troubleshooting purposes. Otherwise you will need to to purchase the a thermocouple accessory from Kline.

No- you need to use the specific test strips-ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus 50 test strips. I think each machine is a little different. I LOVE this meter- so well worth the investment.

I've never used anything other than the Triglyceride, Cholesterol & HDL strips and I'm not sure that my CardioChek unit will work with any more then those three. But yes, IF YOU BUY THE CORRECT UNIT, then it looks like you can test a wide variety of blood tests. Here's a link to the strips they sell. http://www.cardiochek.com/products/professional-strips/test-strips

Not total sure, I know I have 3 different machine here at my plant - each one requires there own test strips. I know there was a couple different number of machines for this brand that take these strips.

No. The purpose of this product is to not have to use test strips. Simply out water in container and pour the liquid in to do various tests. Pretty easy to perform too

The strips are placed in a TRU TEST meter--about $10. A tiny drop of blood is taken by the part of the strip outside the meter and the side with bars goes into the meter. You will need lancets--33 gauge recommended. The lancet is pushed into the FINGERTIP, not the main part of the finger. It is recommended you purchase a spring loaded device to snap the lancet into the skin--less pain and less squeamishness from the user--it is not easy to stab oneself!

You get a couple weeks supply of strips; something like 15-20. You will have to buy strips fairly soon, esp. if you use the meter several times a day.I believe they run about $50-$60. per 100 strips & can also be bought online as well.

No, it doesn't use test strips because it's not electronic. It uses reagents and you compare the results to the color chart visually.
