Distinguishing features (provided by vendors)
uses the Accu-Chek Comfort Curve test strip; universal sampling due
to oxygen-independent chemistry, with reliable results at varying
hematocrit levels; offers alphanumeric touchscreen, onboard bar-code ID,
and MAS RALS-Plus connectivity, including ADT feed, which provides two
patient identifiers for confirmation; extends the quality of blood glucose
programs to six other point-of-care tests by allowing the entry and
transfer of manual test information
†
Roche exclusive
**both scripted/HL7 are available depending on LIS version
