BGStar® - 1

For medical journalists outside the U.S. only BGStar® The BGStar® blood glucose meter is part of Sanofi’s integrated MyStar® portfolio of medical devices, support services and guidance for simple and effective diabetes management. The BGStar® is designed from listening to the needs and desires of people with diabetes. It does not only incorporate innovative technology for assured accuracy, but also has been designed with specific features to help minimise errors such as hypo- and hyperglycaemic alerts, seven programmable audio and visual reminder alarms and a visual strip-fill window. The BGStar® integrates convenient, accurate and easy-to-use blood glucose management with decision-making support and services, so people with diabetes who are using or starting to use insulin can feel more confident to take charge of their lives. The BGStar® is already commercially available in 15 countries across four continents: Algeria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Philippines, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. Convenience and safety features The BGStar® does not require coding and has been designed with a series of features that make managing diabetes safe and convenient. Convenience It has a large, backlit LCD display (~ 3x4 cm) with tall, thick digits that are easy-toread. The meter has a variety of alarm functions to ensure that people with diabetes are testing correctly and staying within their recommended target ranges. These include hypo- and hyperglycaemic alerts, as well as seven programmable reminder alarms so that a user remembers when to test. The BGStar® also has a positive feedback icon to indicate what the results mean and glucose variability to calculate how frequently the results change over time. In addition, the BGStar® has a 1,865 test memory (sufficient for one year of average testing) with date, time, and pre- and post-meal tags. A mini-USB data port supports data transfer to a PC using a specific data communications cable and software. The BGStar® will also offer additional connectivity to the iPhone and iPod touch via a special mini-USB cable to the Apple Dock Connector to fit the lifestyle choices of people with diabetes who want more mobility and flexibility. The BGStar® only needs a 0.5 µl blood sample and alternate site testing is possible. The test strips are easy to handle and the user can check whether enough blood has been applied with the help of a visual strip-fill window. On average, test results are displayed after just five seconds. The user can activate a positive feedback icon (smiley face) that shows on the screen when test results are within pre- and post-meal target ranges. The BGStar® also provides automatic control solution detections for enhanced safety.

For medical journalists outside the U.S. only The BGStar® is based on an intelligent technology called Dynamic Electrochemistry which extracts a spectrum of information from the blood that is inaccessible to traditional electrochemical methods. This specific method compensates for interfering factors that can often distort blood glucose results, helping to ensure accurate and reliable blood glucose readings. The BGStar® is plasma-equivalent calibrated and comes in two different pre-set measurement units (mmol/L or mg/dL) that cannot be switched by the user. The results range is from 1.1 to...
