What is it indicated for?

The Precision Xtra Advanced Diabetes Management System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use (i.e., external use only) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood. The Precision Xtra is also intended for the quantitative measurement of f3-hydroxybutyrate (f3-ketone) in fresh capillary whole blood. The Precision Xtra system is indicated for home (lay user) or professional use in the management of Patients with diabetes.

The Precision Xtra System may also be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose in venous, arterial, or neonatal whole blood and ketone in venous blood, provided the sample is used within 30 minutes after collection.
