adults diagnosed with diabetes, half have glucose levels that are higher than is recommended by healthcare professionals, according to the U.S. The product is the first and only FDA-cleared blood glucose monitor whose 10-test cartridge technology makes a glucose test possible with only the press of a button and without needing to carry separate test strips and lancets. Although this particular solution is not entirely pain-free, the blood sample size of just 250 nanoliters (.25 microliters) that is required for a blood sugar level reading at least keeps the related management discomfort to a minimum.įREMONT, Calif., Novem/PRNewswire/ - Intuity Medical, Inc., a commercial-stage medical technology and digital health company focused on making life with diabetes easier, announced today the availability of the POGO Automatic ® Blood Glucose Monitoring System in the U.S. While there are similar blood glucose monitor devices already out there, such as the Accu-Check Mobile that utilizes a 50-test cassette, the POGO Automatic is precise enough to have been cleared by the FDA and can be easily purchased over-the-counter or ordered online. No prescription is required and those with private insurance may have to only pay US$59 for 150 tests (normally US$96).
