Arkray Assure Platinum Blood Glucose Meter
Arkray Assure Platinum Blood Glucose Meter
Overview
The Arkray Assure Platinum is an easy-to-use auto-coding blood glucose meter built to take the extra steps — and the guesswork — out of everyday testing. There are no code chips to match and no manual coding step, so there's one less chance for a setup error: the meter sets itself with every strip. A small 0.5 µL fingertip sample and about seven seconds are all it takes to show a reading on the large, backlit display, making it a comfortable fit for daily routines at home and in professional or multi-user settings.
With memory for up to 500 time- and date-stamped results plus 7-, 14-, and 30-day averages, it's a practical pick for following patterns over time. Thoughtful touches round it out — a touch-free strip-release button, an audible low-reading alert, the qcProGuard control-solution reminder, and a rubberized ProGrip case for a secure hold — and it runs on easy-to-find AAA batteries.
Key Features
- Auto-coding — no code chips or manual coding; the meter sets itself with every strip.
- Fast results in about 7 seconds from a small 0.5 µL fingertip sample.
- Stores up to 500 time- and date-stamped results with 7-, 14-, and 30-day averaging.
- Large, backlit LCD that stays easy to read in low light.
- Audible low-reading ("Hypo") alert that can be set to flag low results.
- Touch-free strip-release button — eject a used strip without handling it.
- qcProGuard control-solution reminder with a 24-hour audible prompt.
- Secure, slip-resistant ProGrip rubberized case.
- Top-of-meter strip insertion; plasma-referenced results.
- Runs on 2 AAA batteries; works with Assure Platinum strips and control solution (sold separately).
This is the meter on its own — the test strips and control solution are bought separately, and the system is meter-specific, so only Assure Platinum strips work with it. The standout is the auto-coding: there's no code to enter, which removes one of the most common sources of testing error and keeps things simple in shared or multi-user settings. The touch-free strip ejector and the qcProGuard reminder are built around that same ease-of-use idea, and it runs on easy-to-find AAA batteries rather than coin cells. Stocking the matching Assure Platinum strips and control solution alongside it makes for a complete, easy reorder.

Do I need to enter a code?
No — the Assure Platinum is an auto-coding meter, so it codes itself automatically when you insert a strip. There are no code chips to match and no manual step, which removes a common source of testing error.
Which strips and control solution does it use?
It works only with Assure Platinum test strips and Assure control solution, both sold separately. The meter is calibrated for that system, so other brands of strips aren't interchangeable.
What comes in the box, and what else do I need?
The meter with batteries and a user manual. To start testing you'll also need Assure Platinum test strips, a lancing device with lancets, and — for routine accuracy checks — Assure control solution.
