Arkray Glucocard Vital Blood Glucose Meter Kit
Arkray Glucocard Vital Blood Glucose Meter Kit — 7-Second Results, No Coding
Overview
The Glucocard Vital is Arkray’s easy, everyday glucose kit — built to get someone testing within a minute of opening the box. There’s no coding to set up: insert a strip, add a tiny 0.5 µL sample, and the result appears on a large, oversized-number display in about seven seconds.
The Full Kit arrives ready to use, with the meter and the supplies you need for the first round of tests already included. It stores up to 250 time- and date-stamped results with 14- and 30-day averages, downloads to a computer, and runs for roughly 2,000 tests on a single coin-cell battery — all backed by a 5-year warranty.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The Vital is Arkray’s no-frills everyday meter — a single coin-cell battery good for roughly 2,000 tests and a true 5-year warranty make it one of the lower-maintenance picks in the lineup. The Full Kit is the one to reach for when someone is starting out, since it arrives ready to test with strips, lancets, a lancing device, and control solution already in the box. Step up to the Case of 4 if you’re restocking or setting up more than one person. Just note it reads Glucocard Vital strips only, so keep those on hand rather than a generic strip.
