3in1 Uric Acid Meter With 25 Uric Acid test strips, Uric Acid Testing Kit For Uric Acid Monitor -in μmol/L

This meter looks well made, is compact, and despite the seemingly complex set up procedure (as mentioned in other reviews), it is actually very easy to use and obtain quick readings, once you get used to it.However, I have docked two stars from my review because having used the unit for multiple readings now, I lack confidence in the reliability (accuracy) of the readings.My reasons for this are as follows:1) I used two identical machines taking back-to-back readings (1 immediately after the other), on each to compare. One machine produced readings that were consistently 10% higher than the other (example reading of 419 versus 459).2) I took two back-to-back readings after changing to a new batch of test strips (having re-calibrated the unit to the new strips). The new batch showed a reading 5% higher (362 versus 345).3) I took two back-to-back readings using test strips from the same batch. One reading was a substantial 17% higher than the other (426 versus 363). I repeated this test the following day and there was a 15% difference.So, in summary for me, as much as I love the concept of being able to check one’s own Uric Acid levels at home, I simply do not have confidence that the readings produced by this unit, are sufficiently accurate.The variations in readings seem too much for my liking.If it is the case that uric acid blood levels can vary by say 15% within the space of two minutes, then that would change the situation, as indeed the meter could be giving accurate results.But I can’t imagine that to be the case, can you?Edited 31 July 2025Since publishing my original review, the seller reached out to me showing genuine concern about my reservations that I expressed. Further advice was given to help ensure that I was using the meter correctly. It was also explained that their equipment does fall within the error margins specified to be CE compliant. In view of such a prompt and helpful response, I have revised this review from 3 stars to 5 stars.

After using this machine over 3 months for uric acid tests, I've found it to be inconsistent. I would test myself 3 times first thing in the morning and it would produce 3 very different results. I would take the 2 results closest to each snd use them as a reference but even these don't come close to the official NHS tests I've taken.

All tests done at 8pm sharp.Day 1 uric acid result 441.Day2. Uric acid 360. Ohh..that looks good.Day 3 result 440.Strange.Unconvinced. Retest 2 minute intervals with correct procedure.365. Then 280 then 420 then300.... etc etc etc.Fingers won't take much more stabbing.Unless I am incredibly stupid this machine doesn't give me an accurate reading. Will be wanting a refund so that I can purchase something more reliable.

Works.

Readings float about wildly it gives you wildly different readings taken only minutes apart you just can't trust the results

Very nice machine to monitor my urine acid

Waste of money. Always getting error signs or it just switches off.Update: The blood has to go to the very tip. and it sucks it down. Drop the blood onto the small edge, not the flat for less errors.

As a gout sufferer this is helpful. Although may not be accurate it's shows you in the ball park where u need to be.First time I had an error saying I applied blood to early. Second time waited for a bit after Insertion of strip and got a reading.Also take the test in the morning before you eat as some doctors ask you to fast when taking test.This will help me a lot of, if it continues to work.Update after trying again I had 2 wild reading in 2 minutes, 1 at 460 and second above 500. So this was way over my first test. So hmm not sure now. Dropping review stars sorry
