BUZUD, Fosun Trade Medical Devices, a manufacturer of medical appliances, has made available BUZUD’s Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Monitoring System. This dual function test system enables users to measure blood sugar and uric acid levels conveniently and accurately.*
While testing blood glucose levels can commonly be done at home, the conventional way to test uric acid levels is to send a urine or blood sample for testing to a laboratory. This process is costly and it can take up to three days to receive the results.
Certified by government health ministries in many countries, including Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA), the BUZUD Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Monitoring System uses FAD-GDH (flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase) technology, coupled with an anti-interference enzyme layer design. This enables more accurate blood glucose tests based on electrochemical glucose measurements without interference from oxygen, blood, ascorbic acid, and other internal and external interference sources in the blood sample.
“People with high levels of blood sugar and/or uric acid often find it challenging to regularly monitor their blood sugar and uric acid levels as it can be a hassle to test quickly and simply,” said Frankie Fan, founder, CEO and CTO of BUZUD, Fosun Trade Medical Devices.
“BUZUD’s Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid meter is a new generation of bifunctional monitoring system that offers the convenience of testing both blood glucose and uric acid on a single meter, with results detected within 30 seconds.”
According to the World Health Organization, 422 million people worldwide have diabetes and it is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Effectively managing diabetes would depend on patients acting on the results of their blood glucose tests.
And when the kidneys are unable to eliminate uric acid efficiently, causing high uric acid levels, gout as well as permanent bone, joint and tissue damage, kidney disease, and heart disease can occur. Regularly monitoring of uric acid levels is key to effective uric acid management, said the company. When it comes to gout, some 41.2 million people are estimated to have the illness.
The BUZUD Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Monitoring System requires a small blood sample to return results at up to 95% accuracy. A lancet is used to prick a finger and a small sample of blood is applied to the relevant test strips. The blood glucose and/or uric acid test strips are then inserted into the Safe AQ UG blood glucose and uric acid meter, after which blood glucose test results will be shown within 5 seconds and uric acid test results within 25 seconds. The test strips are then ejected safely with a one-click system.
The system stores 200 of the most recent results (100 blood glucose and 100 uric acid test results) with date and time stamps for easy long-term monitoring.
The Monitoring System includes the following:
• Safe AQ UG blood glucose and uric acid meter
• Safe AQ UG blood glucose test strips
• Safe AQ UG uric acid test strips
• Blood glucose control solution
• Uric acid control solution
