Home Diagnostics' TRUE2go receives design award

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Home Diagnostics on Monday announced that the company’s TRUE2go blood glucose meter was awarded a Medical Design Excellence Award.

“Our team is honored to be recognized for our commitment to innovation and design with a Medical Design Excellence Award for TRUE2go,” stated Joe Capper, president and CEO of Home Diagnostics. “This award is a testament to the dedication of the Home Diagnostics team for creating products that deliver outstanding performance and value while helping people with diabetes manage their disease in a way that fits their individual lifestyles.”

The MDEA competition recognizes the achievements of medical product manufacturers responsible for the innovations that are changing the face of healthcare. Small enough to twist and attach to the top of a vial of test strips, TRUE2go delivers precise results in as fast as four seconds using only 0.5 microliters of blood. In clinical testing, TRUE2go achieved a high degree of accuracy and repeatability, and was considered easy to use. TRUE2go uses the company’s new TRUEtest platform of blood glucose test strips featuring the company’s patent-pending GoldSensor laser accuracy and TRUEfill beveled tip, which ensures highly accurate test results and first test success.

The 2009 Medical Design Excellence Award winners will be honored at a ceremony during the Medical Design & Manufacturing East Conference and Exposition, June 9-11, 2009, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

TRUE2go is available at retailers nationwide for only $9.99 in many retail locations.
