BUZUD, Fosun Trade Medical Devices, a medical device company, has launched the Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Monitoring System. This innovative device allows users to measure both blood sugar and uric acid levels from the comfort of their homes with ease and a high degree of accuracy.*
While at-home blood glucose testing is common, uric acid level testing typically requires a blood or urine sample to be sent to a lab. This process is not only time-consuming, potentially taking up to 72 hours for results, but also expensive.
The BUZUD Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Monitoring System has received approval from healthcare authorities in several countries, including Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA). It utilizes FAD-GDH (flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase) technology and an anti-interference enzyme layer design. This allows for precise blood glucose measurements through electrochemical analysis, preventing interference from various substances like oxygen, blood components, and ascorbic acid.
“Individuals with high blood sugar or uric acid levels often struggle to monitor these levels due to the inconvenience of traditional testing methods,” said Frankie Fan, founder, CEO, and CTO of BUZUD, Fosun Trade Medical Devices.
“The BUZUD Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid meter is a cutting-edge, dual-function monitoring device that provides the convenience of testing both blood glucose and uric acid levels with a single device, delivering results in just 30 seconds.”
The World Health Organization reports that diabetes affects 422 million people globally and is a leading cause of death. Effective diabetes management hinges on patients understanding and acting upon their blood glucose readings.
High uric acid levels occur when the kidneys are unable to efficiently remove it from the body. This can lead to gout, chronic damage to bones, joints, and tissues, kidney disease, and heart disease. Regular monitoring of uric acid levels is crucial for effective management, according to the company. Current estimates suggest that 41.2 million individuals suffer from gout.
The BUZUD Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Monitoring System boasts an accuracy rate of up to 95% and requires only a small blood sample obtained through a finger prick with a lancet. The blood is then applied to the designated test strips, which are inserted into the meter. Blood glucose results are displayed within 5 seconds, and uric acid results within 25 seconds. The device is equipped with a one-click system for the safe ejection of used test strips.
The system stores up to 200 of the most recent results (100 blood glucose and 100 uric acid), time-stamped for easy tracking.
The Monitoring System includes the following:
• Safe AQ UG blood glucose and uric acid meter
• Safe AQ UG blood glucose test strips
• Safe AQ UG uric acid test strips
• Blood glucose control solution
• Uric acid control solution
