AgaMatrix Presto Blood Glucose Meter Overview

Accuracy and affordability are important factors when selecting a glucose monitor. Precise test results ensure that individuals with diabetes get the correct dosage of insulin. The name Presto speaks to the system's prompt, fast results that provide reading within six seconds. The Agamatrix Presto Blood Glucose Meter is fast with proven clinical accuracy.¹ Its patented WaveSense Technology has been put to the test, demonstrating reliable readings that exceed the ISO minimum accuracy requirements.

What is WaveSense Technology?

This patented technology applies dynamic electrochemistry in blood glucose measurement. It detects and corrects known sources of interference with a blood sample. Some of these errors include fluctuations in the number of red blood cells, altitude, and temperature. The technology makes the proper adjustments to overcome these interferences and produce reliable readings.

The WaveSense technology involves a three-step real-time loop of information to detect glucose levels in each blood sample.

1. Glucose reacts with the enzyme inside the test strip.
2. Electrical signals are sent from the Presto Meter into the test strip that is sent back to the meter.
3. The meter detects the glucose signal, removes interferences, and displays the test result.
