It is good to have and check my numbers in between doctor appointments. Review: Not ready for prime time - skip it - I bought this product because I have very high tryglicerides... After purchasing it and expensive strips I see in the user manual that the device will display an error if your tryglicerides are over 400... Mine are at 1200, down from over 3000 and hopefully, still improving, but it will be a long time before I can use this device to test them- and with the 'expiration date' on the test strips, some of them just a few months away, all of this is basically junk. I took my cholestrol since that should be in range and it read 258... I'm not sure how much I trust it as my fasting cholestorl as measured by the doctor last week was 40 points higher. I sure hope it's a legitimate result but I know it should be higher, a lot higher. Also the single use lancets supplied mean that if you 'miss' or don't get a good prick you'll have to buy/find your own- I wish they used the standard lancet type pen that comes with glucose meters, you'd think for what they are charging for the test strips they could provide quality lancets. It's a great idea and I hope in coming years better meters come out that can test faster, larger ranges, and such- but this isn't there yet. I guess if you're levels are are 'normal' you can use it but why would you waste your money on this if you're levels are decent to begin with. ## Features - Not a PT INR Machine - Listing is for the ANALYZER ONLY - Test strips and memo chip are SOLD SEPARATELY and are REQUIRED Blood testing device monitors cholesterol - Displays the results of your blood test in about one minute ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BN9HR8 | | ASIN | B000BN9HR8 | | Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required.

(Seems to be what the manual suggests...)** A: Yes, there are 2 types of control solutions that are sold seperately. Multichemistry controls are for Total Cholesterol & Trigylcerides. Each box of controls includes 2 vials of control solution (1 for the high & 1 for the low). You would need to use 2 test strips of each type (Total & Triglyceride) to effectively run both high & low controls. The HDL Cholesterol controls is the 2nd type of controls & it also includes 2 vials of control solution (1 for the high & 1 for the low). The HDL Cholesterol controls can only be used with the HDL Cholesterol strips. You would also need to use 2 strips (1 for the high & 1 for the low) for the HDL Controls also. Thank you. **Q: By mistake my son set year as 2015 !,Now for resetting to 2013,I need to reduce year.How it is done ?.Can anybody help me.** A: I have an older model but I have to activate it by pressing the button with the circle,then I toggle through the options using the button with the arrow, until I get to USER SET, then press the button with the circle,then I toggle to SET DATE using the button with the arrow, then press the button with the circle.The month, day and year are changed using the button with the arrow.After the month is correct, press the button with the circle.After the date is correct, press the button with the circle.After the year is correct, press the button with the circle.

The CardioChek test strips for these types are all sold seperately & not included with the analyzer. This analyzer does not work with "coagucheck strips", those are for a different type of analyzer. **Q: Sirve este equipo para medir la coagulación en sangre.?** A: Si es muy bueno ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and great! *by L***N on December 1, 2013* I love this machine!

I'm giving it 3 stars because it works, but only if you do things perfectly and in order to do it perfectly, it is really hard if you are alone and only slightly easier if someone is helping you. The biggest issue I have is with the blood extraction. The spring loaded finger lances barely give you enough blood if you don't use them perfectly. On top of that the plastic squeeze blood capture things are a giant pain to use and barely work. You need a decent amount of blood to make this work, not a teaspoon but more than you can get unless you do everything perfectly. I apologize for saying "perfect" so much but I am trying to stress how difficult it can be to get enough blood. Once you have enough it works fine, but given the cost, there is little room for trial and error, so here are a few tips. 1 - Use your non-dominate hand as you'll need you dominate hand's dexterity, especially if you are doing this alone. 2 - Don't use your thumb or pinky. 3 - Clean your skin with alcohol and let it dry completely before drawing blood. 4 - Press the lancet firmly against your finger before you trigger it, if you don't you'll barely get any blood as it wont penetrate deep enough. They do not hurt any more than a small pinch at worst. You will NOT get any moderate pain let alone severe pain, but you will waste the lancet if you dont press firmly. 5 - Use your thumb to press against the bottom of your finger tip hard enough to turn your finger tip red before triggering the lancet, this will help you obtain more blood. 6 - DO NOT squeeze the blood out once you've triggered the lancet, let it flow on its own, if you squeeze it you can get mixed results. 7 - You may want to skip the plastic syringe type thing they provide and instead dab the blood directly onto the test strip. 8 - Make sure your device is tested and calibrated before you start drawing blood. 9 - READ THE MANUAL before you draw blood. 10 - Have someone help you. It makes the whole process much easier. If they made the blood extraction easier I would easily give this 4-5 stars. But getting the blood out correctly is critical to an accurate test and is difficult to do at best. The #'s are good but not laboratory good. So don't expect a perfect match with your lab #'s. This is more useful for week to week or month to month monitoring, especially if you are not using a statin and are trying to find out which supplements work and which do not. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/770008-cardiochek-portable-blood-test-system-not-a-pt-inr-machine](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/770008-cardiochek-portable-blood-test-system-not-a-pt-inr-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
