True Metrix Blood Glucose Meter - FAQs

According to Trividia Health, testing has shown the system exceeds the ISO’s accuracy standards. 99 percent of results from healthcare professionals were within limits defined in the ISO’s standards.

 

The True Metrix can store up to 1,000 test results. When the device’s memory is full, the oldest result will be replaced.

 

This glucose monitor uses a single 3V lithium battery, which should last for roughly 1,000 tests or one year.

 

The glucose monitor can be calibrated by doing a control test before testing blood glucose for the first time.

Trividia Health has indicated that the True Metrix Air is highly accurate - to the point where it goes above and beyond ISO standards for accuracy. Ninety-nine percent of all results from healthcare professionals fell within the accuracy limits defined by the ISO.

Using the True Metrix is simple. Just put a test strip into the device, collect a blood sample, and apply the blood to the test strip. When your test is complete, you’ll have an opportunity to tag your results.

The “E-5” error on your True Metrix meter can indicate one of the following issues:

  • Test strip error, or
  • Very high blood glucose result (higher than 600 mg/dL)

Corrective Action:

Retest with new test strip. If error persists, call 1-800-803-6025, Mon - Fri, 8AM-8PM EST. If
you have symptoms such as fatigue, excess urination, thirst, or blurry vision follow your Doctor or Healthcare Professional’s advice for high blood glucose. 

 

The "E-3" error on your True Metrix meter indicates one of the following issues:

  • The test strip was previously used
  • The test strip was outside of vial too long, or
  • There is a sample on top of test strip.

Corrective Action:

Repeat with a new test strip. Make sure the sample tip of test strip touched top of sample drop. If error persists, call 1-800-803-6025, Mon - Fri, 8AM-8PM EST.
