After some difficulty setting up as there was no indication as to where to place blood sample exactly. I was placing it in middle of window on tab. Also no code dongle.instructions on paper with machine & on web were very vague although all other instructions were very clear. I was testing Uric Acid.Finally found video on web which which clearly showed correct placement. You hold machine with test strip heading away from you. Put blood on left hand edge of strip window ( for uric acid ) and it will immediately be drawn in to right of test window & test will start with 25 second countdown.For sugar the blood appears to go at top end of strip & gets drawn down & takes 5 secs. ( I think - as I have not tested yet as I use Accu-Chek ).Finally I then found the batch test dongle in 1 of the boxes containing either of the test strips which fell out when I turned box upside down & shook it to get stuck container out. Why this wasn't put in the small compartment in pouch I don't know! Initially when I took first test machine flashed 600 where as code was 606. Tests were wrong or did not work ( wrong placement of blood drop ). With dongle in it showed 606 and tests appear OK now. However its early days to be sure after only 2 tests but I am confident. Will post further comment in 2 weeks if any probs.Hope this helps some of you to avoid my frustrations.

I got this because I had a bout of the dreaded gout! Which if you are reading this, I'm sure you probably know about ;)To be honest, it's impossible to know whether this is giving you correct readings or not unless you've had a test done with the GP, but what I would suggest is that if you do it consistently and keep notes, you can tell which way your uric acid is going and what seems to trigger things.I was in the 600s when I first got it and was hobbling around and managed to get it down into the 400s, all according to the readings on this deviceThe blood sugar again is down to trust but I do have another tool which seems to match the readings so it must be fairly consistent.The the build quality is good, once you have calibrated it with the little USB stick, it really is very simple to use, the uric acid takes a little while to give a reading, but the blood sugar is only around 10 seconds so the speed is certainly fast. Big LCD screen means that you can see your readings clearly.So all in all it seems a good for me for money machine

Different result if you retest immediatelyThat is the only giarantee it will show random results

Monitoring uric acid

If you have gout this is a must.As gout sufferer that is now on medication it is great to see how my medication is working in terms of keeping my uric acid levels down. Using this device shows me I am around 200 which is very low and what is needed to stay gout free. It also helps me test after food and alcohol.etc and still my levels are low.When I first used it I wasted a few strips. Set the syringe to 4 to get a good amount of blood and wipe off the first blood that is drawn and squeezed out a second lot and rest gently against the strip entry pokt and bosh, you don't get LO error readings just your uric acid levels reading.I've been testing a few times a week for two weeks now and the results are in a similar range with a few peaks and troughs but still my levels are low. I might even be able to try a beer soon and see how that affects my levels by testing.

I recommend it is quality, quick result.

Nice and useful little device to keep an eye on my uric acid level.
