Nova Max Plus Glucose & Ketone Meter

Nova Max Plus Glucose & Ketone Meter

Nova Max Plus measures glucose or blood ketone with a tiny, 0.3 microliter blood sample. Glucose results are available in 5 seconds. Ketone results are available in 10 seconds, using a separate ketone test strip. There is no coding for Nova Max glucose or ketone test strips.

Nova Max Plus meter works with Nova Max test strips. Nova Max glucose test strips require a very small amount of blood, just 0.3 microliters. Alternate site testing from either the palm or forearm is available for Nova Max glucose testing.

The Nova Max Plus Glucose/Ketone monitoring system uses advanced measurement technology to measure both blood glucose and ketone levels with the same meter. With both glucose and ketone measuring on the same monitor, Nova Max Plus is ideal for children or adolescents with diabetes, insulin pump users, and anyone with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who uses insulin. Nova Max Plus automatically reminds the user to check the blood ketones whenever a blood sugar level is 250 mg/dL or higher.

Nova Max Plus is easy to use and provides rapid results. Simply insert a glucose or ketone test strip and the meter automatically converts to the appropriate measuring mode. There is no coding required for either glucose or blood ketone monitoring. Glucose results are displayed in just 5 seconds, ketone results in just 10 seconds.

The Best Overall Glucose Meter

Nova Max Plus incorporates advanced technology for accurate and precise self-monitoring of blood glucose and ketones by people with diabetes. Nova Max Plus has the most comprehensive features for fast, easy, and error-free blood glucose and ketone monitoring.

Glucose and Ketones on the Same Meter

The Nova Max Plus Glucose Meter automatically converts itself to a Ketone meter by inserting the Nova Max Plus Ketone strip.

Why Ketone Measurements Are Important

• Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes with a mortality rate of 2%-10% [1]
• DKA is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and death in children with type 1 diabetes [2]
• The use of a blood test for early detection of increased blood ketone levels can help to avert DKA [3,4,5]
• According to the ADA, blood ketone testing should be performed on sick days and whenever glucose is greater than 250-300 mg/dL.

No Maltose Error

Nova Max Plus prevents falsely elevated glucose results due to non glucose sugars in the blood such as maltose. Test strips that use the glucose dehydrogenase PQQ methodology can have glucose errors due to maltose, galactose and xylose. Nova Max does not have these interferences since it does not employ the glucose dehydrogenase PQQ methodology.

Congratulations on your decision to manage your diabetes using the Nova Max Link Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The Nova Max glucose testing system is practical in measuring your glucose levels.

The Nova Max Link Blood Glucose Monitor is designed to be convenient and simple to use. The Nova Max Link is designed for wireless communication with Paradigm Model 512, 712, or higher insulin infusion pumps. It gives accurate results in just 5 seconds using a very small blood sample. This small sample allows you to use a thinner lancet because not as much blood is needed to do a blood sugar test. The Nova Max Link also has memory that stores your blood sugar test results to help you and your healthcare professional manage your diabetes care.
