McKesson Quintet AC Blood Glucose Meter Kit
McKesson Quintet AC Blood Glucose Meter — Complete Kit
No Coding, 5-Second Results, Ready Right Out of the Box
The McKesson Quintet AC Blood Glucose Meter keeps testing simple: no coding to set up, fast 5-second results, and memory for up to 500 readings with date and time. It's a straightforward, dependable monitoring system for both personal use and professional or multi-user settings, with a backlit LCD that's easy to read and results from the fingertip, forearm, or palm.
It arrives as a complete kit — the meter, an installed 3-volt battery, instructions for use, and a compact carrying case — so it's ready to go right out of the box. A small 1.0 µL sample, auto-coding, and ergonomic "glove grip" paddle strips make each test quick and low-fuss, while a long battery life of roughly 1,000 tests keeps it going. Latex-free materials round out the design.

Equipment Specialist Insight: This is the meter kit — the test strips and control solution are bought separately, and the system is meter-specific: only Quintet AC strips work with it, so the meter and its strips need to be stocked together. The no-coding setup and "glove grip" paddle strips make it easy to handle even while wearing gloves, which is part of why it suits both home use and professional, multi-user stations. Pairing it on the shelf with the matching Quintet AC strips and control solution makes for an easy, complete reorder.
