sinocare Safe AQ UG Uric Acid Test Strips 50 pcs, Only for sinocare Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose & Uric Acid Monitor

This test is very good. There are negative reviews which clearly show the user didn’t understand how to use the test. Make sure you add the blood to the side of the test trip not the bottom. I was worried about accuracy so I took a blood test immediately after a lab test. It was out by about 20 points which for a home test is not bad.My rheumatologist decided to lower the frequency of my meds as my UA was below 200. After a couple of days I decided to take a test to see what had happened and noticed my blood UA had shot up to 410 which is enough to cause a gout attack. I immediately returned to my normal frequency and will go back to see my specialist. Thank goodness I had the ability to keep an eye on things and act before it got bad.

I am a veteran lab/chemist 20+ years, now modeller, worked with many lab instruments (just to show some merit in this review), and this kit is quite typical for lab use. Without having an actual calibration sample to test with, the next best thing I did was compare with NHS lab results, and they were within acceptable range (I measured 368umol UA, the lab was 360umol). If you read the description, results may differ by 20%, which is very typical for lab equipment, especially equipment which use test strips. Ensure you get enough blood from pricking your finger, and the test strip does a great job of taking a sample of your blood.I would recommend this to anyone who wants to monitor UA, and the glucose is useful as well, but maybe a continuous glucose monitor might be better. Set your expectations as per note above and you won't be disappointed. I've learned a lot about my body using this kit.

First of all, there is no control solution contrary to what is stated in the manual. Second, the UA test strip doesn't absorb any blood and thus the device doesn't make any readings. Both my mother (who pricks her finger regularly due to diabetes) and I couldn't make it work and we tried 7 different strips

Easy to use, reasonably priced and not too bad accuracy compared to an official blood test that was done within about half hour of each other. In the UK the normal level of Uric acid is between 200 - 430, my result was about 20 different to the proper blood test. Will use to get a base line sense of where I'm at

It was ok delivered on time

Great gadget. Just remember to add the blood sample to the side of the strip not on top of the strip.

I bought this product to monitor my uric acid levels as I suffer from gout flare ups.Now you're supposed to not take readings when you have a flare as they will come out lower than normal, so these readings are 2 weeks after the symptoms subsided.As you can see the results are a bit spread out, the first saying I have a high reading, second a normal, and third borderline. Therefore do not accept the first reading you do!This machine could be used as a good guide for your UA levels, but do not take the readings as gospel and go to your clinic for an accurate reading.

Seems pretty hit and miss. Had to keep jabbing my fingers and retesting before it gave an actual result. By the time I got a result I’d used half a pack of test strips and I was covered in so much blood I looked like I was in a Tarantino movie.
