To Reduce Patient Pain During Blood Sampling, Alternative Site Testing Successfully Developed.

Most blood glucose monitors require a drop of blood sampled from the finger tip during testing. To reduce patient pain due to finger tip blood sampling, BIONIME has not only developed micro-blood sampling technology, but also successfully developed the technology to conduct micro-blood sampling from the skin at the palm or arm. This technology underwent clinical trials at the Min-Sheng hospital, proving that it was just as accurate as finger tip blood sampling while greatly reducing pain experienced during the process. The Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System completed its Alternative Site Test clinical trials on October 6 2005 , with over 130 patients involved in this clinical trial. When compared to the YSI 2300D Stat Plus and the One Touch Ultra from Johnson & Johnson, Rightest delivered exceptional accuracy as shown in the clinical trial report below.
