4.0 out of 5 stars Fast and easy, January 20, 2008

By	Ben Kana "Ben Kana" (Walnut Creek, CA) - See all my reviews

I did my first test today. The lancet was easy to use and didnt cause any pain. Cant comment on the accuracy of the result but it was around what I was expecting. The overall process was quite simple... Attach test strip, enter code, draw blood, drop it to the specified location on test strip. In under 30 seconds you can see the result.
No caibration needed as opposed to the previous version.
From what I could infer, you need to enter the code corresponding to new test strips that you buy every time. I had to fiddle with it a bit, but think its going to be easy next time.

One complaint...
They did a bad job with the packaging. They gave me a new version of the product and attached the manual for the previous version which needed a calibration chip. Apparantly somebody who wrote before me also faced the same issue. So had to contact their customer care to send in an updated guide.
So if you bought this item and cant locate the calibration chip mentioned in the manual you probably are looking at the wrong guide.

Over all a handy tool guys...

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, April 1, 2008

By	lannr (USA) - See all my reviews

This device is either very difficult to use correctly or is not very accurate. I used the glucose strips that came with it and compared it with results using my older Accu-Chek. The Q.Steps meter reported numbers 20% to 25% below the numbers on the Accu-Chek. Because of the color of the place on the strip that receives the drop of blood (red), it is difficult to tell if you have applied enough. The second time I tried it, I did so under my desk lamp. The results were still inaccurate. I also tried the Cholesterol strips and do not have any confidence in the results - my cholesterol count has not gone down to 49 (displayed as 4.9 by the way). The owners manual that came with it was, as the other reviewer reported, for an older model.
I would not recommend this device.

1.0 out of 5 stars Something was going wrong, July 11, 2009

Because the tool came only with one Cholesterol strip I tried the Glucose test first. Ok. Whenn I executed the Cholesterol test the tool shut down before the result was shown. After turn on error.
