FreeStyle Flash system

The FreeStyle Flash system-for Virtually Pain-Free Testing in a discreet meter.

Reliable Sample Detection Technology

  1. Meter is designed not to start the test until it has enough blood.
  2. You can add more blood to the same sample area for up to 60 seconds.

When there is enough blood, the meter "beeps" and begins the test.
The test strip uses capillary action and acts like a sponge to "pull" the exact amount of blood (0.3 microliter) into the test strip.

If not enough blood fills the test strip area and nothing happens, the user has up to 60 seconds to add more blood to the same sample area of the test strip.

If enough blood fills the test strip sample chamber, the meter then "beeps" indicating there is sufficient blood and begins the test.

  1. World's smallest sample size - 0.3 microliter - delivers Virtually Pain-Free Testing
  2. Small meter for discreet testing
  3. Test light and backlit display allow for glucose readings and results-even in low light
  4. 4 programmable alarms remind patients when to test
