Re: New glucose meter - Clever Chek

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

But does it le a blind person set the time and date independently? It does

not mention that at all.

New glucose meter - Clever Chek

I don't know if this will help, but this was posted to me this morning from

a friend who works at the RNIB, Royal National Institute of the Blind.

New glucose meter - Clever Chek

Hi , I expect you know about this but just forwarding this information

This new CLEVER CHEK® model announces the result of blood glucose within

seven seconds in a natural female English voice. The meter is codeless and

requires no test strip set up, unlike other models, making this meter easy

to use. The meter is fully audible and also shows the information on the LCD

display. It also stores up to 450 records and can calculate 7, 14, 21, 28,

60 and 90 day averages.

The meter is going to be available at no charge to blind and partially

sighted diabetics, and will be restricted to one meter per person (five per

organisation). The meter comes supplied with 25 test strips, a lancing pen,

25 lancets, test solution, carry case and a plastic adaptor for alternative

site testing (AST).

The following accessories will be available separately from RNIB and/or on

repeat prescription:

Replacement test strips (x50): DH274S, priced £17.95 & £20.64 - repeat

prescription (PIP-code 346-4344).

Replacement control solution 4ml bottle: DH274CS, priced £9.95 & £11.44.

I did notice the short blurb that it is " completely audible. " I remember this

meter was up for discussion a few months ago, and as I remember it, there was

something lacking about it. but that description posted by , most notably

the completely audible part, makes it sound pretty much like a Prodigy twin.

That is except for the mention of a usb cable enabling you to upload results to

the pc. I wonder if the software is screen reader friendly?

HI ,

Perhaps you can inquire for us about how this meter compares to the Prodigy?

That is to say, are all the settings accessible via speech, and is the software

to upload results to the pc, screen reader friendly?

Thanks.

Hi,

Is this suppose to supersede the SensoCard plus? it's seven second result time

is slightly slower than the SensoCard and it's blood sample is slightly larger.

Wonder if it's more accurate when your results stray away from the norm.

Cheers,

Brett.

Hi,

According to the following article I just red, this meter doesn't look like it

would compare to the SensoCard or the Prodigy. The article is quite old, so

things may have changed, but...

Dave,

I realize that the following information is all but completely useless to

most on this list – but – Wal-Mart sells their version of a glucometer and

it is called Rely-on.

The meter sells for something like $14 and the strips are about $35 for 100.

The meter is made by the same folks who make the One Touch and is

(supposedly) accurate.

Why on Earth the One Touch strips are $80 per 100 is beyond me. I suppose it

is the same philosophy as lots of adaptive equipment, Uncle Sam and/or some

insurance company is footing the bill so who cares how much it costs. (LOL)

Good Morning All,

I will try to answer as many questions regarding this new Cleverchek meter as

possible, that were asked in your Emails last night, although I'm just in the

dark about this meter as the rest of you.

I understand the Cleverchek meter is going to be available through the RNIB in

the UK, at the end of this month through its Customer Services, and about two or

three weeks later in their resource centre in London. I will make a point of

visiting the resource centre next month when it becomes available, and have a

look at this Cleverchek meter, and I will make a report back to this list,

hopefully with some or your answers.

I don't think the Cleverchek is an update on the Sensocard Plus meter, being

they are not being manufactured by the same company. As regarding the question

between the Prodigy meter and the new Cleverchek. Unfortunately, I can't answer

this question, being we don't have the Prodigy meter here in the UK. The only

blood meter I would be able to compare the Cleverchek too, would be the

Sensocard Plus, in which I was involved with its initial trials!

From what I can tell, the Sensocard only takes five seconds in getting a result,

in comparison to the new Cleverchek meter which takes 7 seconds.

Regarding the memory between the Sensocard Plus and Cleverchek, there's not a

great deal of difference between the two meters. The Sensocard Plus will hold

up to 500 results, as to the 450 with this new meter.

From what I have seen so far, the two things it has towards its favour, firstly,

is the ability to give a 90 day average reading as opposed to the 28 days of the

Sensocard, and secondly, the ability to connect the Cleverchek meter to a

computer via the USB cable. Where as, the results from the Sensocard plus can

be downloaded to a PC via a Lazer light programme. Although I have never tried

to do this with my Sensocard meter!

As to the setting the time and date, I will look into this question, as I don't

know the answer to this one. However, if there are any more questions you would

like me to investigate, you only need to ask, and I will write up a list, for

when I next go to the Royal National Institute of Blind People.

I cut my connections with the below company because they dropped the Prodigy in

favor of the Clever Check meter. Maybe someone would be willing to call them

and ask them a few good questions? Primarily, do all the settings, such as

setting time and date, speak? And is the software accessible/screen reader

friendly?

They are in Texas, so they are in the CST time zone.
