Accutrend Plus meter

Product Information

The accuracy of the Accutrend ® Plus for measuring TC and TG was determined by comparing the results with those of the simultaneously sampled venous blood results using paired samples t-tests and Pearson’s correlation coefficients. The agreement between capillary Accutrend and reference method was assessed using Passing and Bablok regression and Bland and Altman analysis ( 19, 20). A difference between methods not exceeding 8.9% for TC and 15% for TG, as stated by NCEP recommendations, was regarded as clinically acceptable ( 3). In the present study, the day-to-day reproducibility of the Accutrend ® Plus proved to be high for the measurement of TC (ICC = 0.85) and moderate for TG (ICC = 0.68). Since the measurement of lipid concentration was carried out after a fasting period of at least 8 hours without differences in nutrient intake 24h before sampling, one might expect similar values at a 24 hour interval. It is generally accepted that an intra-individual biological variability of respectively 3.9% and 14.0% for TC and TG concentration is to be considered as normal ( 25). Taking this natural variability into account, the day-to-day reproducibility for lipid concentration by Accutrend ® Plus remained within the limits of biological variability. However, day-to-day differences less than 0.75 mmol/L (29 mg/dL) for TC and 0.88 mmol/L (78 mg/dL) for TG are to be considered non-significant. It is therefore suggested that the values mentioned above represent the smallest detectable changes during follow-up using the Accutrend ® Plus system.

Positive strip lot ID – positive identification of strip lot and code parameters helps ensure accurate results and proper system performance The Accutrend Plus meets strict quality standards and is specifically designed to provide consistent and reliable results. It is manufactured with high-quality materials, ensuring its durability and longevity. The device also has a long battery life, reducing the need for frequent battery replacements. Value": "Анализатор Аккутренд Плюс предназначен для количественного анализа четырех показателей крови: глюкозы, холестерина, триглицеридов и лактата. Измерение выполняется путем фотометрического анализа света, отражаемого от тест-полосок, различных для каждого из этих показателей. Более подробную информацию о каждом анализе Вы найдете в инструкциях-вкладышах к соответствующим тест-полоскам. Elevated concentrations of lipids in the blood have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality ( 1). Monitoring cardiovascular disease risk and reducing the onset of cardiovascular events by therapeutic lifestyle changes and drug therapy has received increasing international attention since 1980 ( 2, 3). The detection, evaluation and treatment of hyperlipidemia are based on circulating blood lipid concentrations among which total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG). The classification of individuals based on lipid profile represents a general guidance for clinical decision making.

Value": "The Accutrend Plus instrument is used for quantitative measurement of one blood parameter: Total cholesterol. The meter has a fast testing time of eight seconds and requires a small amount of blood for each test, which minimizes discomfort for the user. It also has a memory function that can store up to 100 test results, allowing individuals to monitor their glucose levels over time. The Accutrend Plus from Roche is a blood analysis device for the determination of cholesterol, triglycerides and the lactate value. The Accutrend device is ideal for mobile use due to its handy format and supports the user in the early detection of cardiovascular risk factors. Value": "Accutrend Plus ölçüm cihazı üçkan parametresinin kantitatif tayini için kullanılır: kolesterol, trigliseritler ve laktat. Yansı ma fotometrik ölçümü, bu kan parametrelerinin her biri için özel ölçüm çubukları kullanılarak yapılır. Her testle ilgili ayrıntılı bilgi için ilgili ölçüm çubuklarının prospektüslerine bakın.

Accutrend Plus uses specially designed Accutrend Glucose, Accutrend Cholesterol, Accutrend Triglycerides and BM-Lactate superior quality test strips. The test strips contain a yellow protective mesh, impregnated with a surfactant (application field), a glass fiber fleece that works as a separating layer for blood cells), a reaction film in which the color formation takes place) and a bar code on the reverse side, which is read by the meter to confirm test strip identity, i.e. the lot number on the test strip is congruent with the stored code) The Accutrend Plus has a compact and lightweight design, making it easy to carry and use on-the-go. It has a large and easy-to-read display, making it convenient for individuals with visual impairments. Accutrend Plus supports in the early recognition of CVD risks as well as in monitoring therapeutic measures.

Accutrend Plus uses specially designed Accutrend Glucose, Accutrend Cholesterol, Accutrend Triglycerides and BM-Lactate superior quality test strips. The test strips contain: We included 62 adult patients who required a lipid panel measurement (cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides and LDL calc) for routine care. The performance of five different cholesterol self-tests, three quantitative meters ( Roche Accutrend Plus, Mission 3-in-1 and Qucare) and two semi-quantitative strip tests ( Veroval and Mylan MyTest), was assessed according to the manufacturers' protocol. Accutrend Plus measures the intensity of the reaction colour within the reaction layer of the test strip by reflectance photometry and calculates the parameter concentration of the sample through a lot-specific algorithm. The result is displayed in mg/dl or mmol/l (BM-Lactate only in mmol/l) and stored automatically with date, time, and additional information. The Accutrend Plus meter stores up to 100 results for each parameter. Rapid results - Cholesterol in 180 seconds, triglycerides in 174 seconds, glucose in 12 second and lactate in 60 seconds. In addition, it is ideal for monitoring the progress of lipid-lowering drug therapy - in a physician’s office as well as for self-measurement. The device has a memory capacity of up to 100 readings, which are stored with date and time in the internal memory.

Quantitative results for glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and lactate directly from capillary blood. For each of these parameters Accutrend Plus uses specially designed test strips Accutrend Plus is a flexible, hand-held, point-of-care device for the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and lactate. The device is designed to be used outside the lab in the physician’s office and in the hospital, as well as for self-measurement at home or when playing sports. Results are provided directly from capillary blood.The Accutrend Plus System offers easy measurement of cholesterol, triglycerides and blood glucose on the spot and supports the early recognition of CVD risks as well as monitoring therapeutic measures in the doctors office or at the patients home. Results are taken from capillary blood using Roches well-proven test strip technology. Test strips can be stored at room temperature.

Furthermore Accutrend Plus allows for rapid determination of blood lactate levels. It helps to determine individual training intensity on the spot, to harmonize phases of strain and rest, and to minimize the danger of overload and injury. Additionally the classification of the participants according to the NCEP for TC and TG was compared between both methods using Fisher’s exact tests and weighted kappa statistics (κ w). For the interpretation of the kappa values the following criteria were applied: κ> 0.80 “excellent agreement”, 0.80 ≤κ< 0.60 “substantial agreement”; 0.40 ≤κ≤ 0.60 “moderate agreement”, and κ< 0.40 “poor to fair agreement” ( 21). Accutrend Plus lets you apply blood onto the strip inside or outside the meter. For example, when conducting multiple tests where cross contamination might be an issue, you can apply blood outside the deviceHypercholesterolemia (plasma cholesterol concentration ≥5.2 mmol/L) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Many different cholesterol self-tests are readily available at general stores, pharmacies and web shops. However, there is limited information on their analytical and diagnostic performance.
