Arkray Glucocard Vital Glucose Meter, Basic Kit
Arkray Glucocard Vital Blood Glucose Meter — Basic Kit, 7-Second Results
Overview
The Glucocard Vital Basic Kit is the streamlined, lower-cost way into Arkray’s easy everyday meter. There’s no coding to set up: insert a strip, add a tiny 0.5 µL sample, and your result shows on a large, oversized-number display in about seven seconds.
This kit keeps it simple — the meter and a first set of 10 test strips, ready to go. The meter 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 Basic Kit is the right pick when someone already has a lancing device and lancets on hand, or just wants the lowest-cost way onto the Vital platform — it’s the meter plus a starter set of strips, nothing extra. If you’d rather have a lancing device, lancets, and control solution included in the box, the Glucocard Vital Full Kit is the all-in-one. Either way, the meter reads Glucocard Vital strips only, so keep those stocked, and step up to the Case of 4 when you’re restocking or setting up more than one person.
