Background
Abbott's Precision Xtra is a blood glucose and blood β-Ketone monitoring medical device launched in 2000 and manufactured by Abbott Diabetes Care Incorporated. This device has had several releases and recalls throughout its manufacturing run; to find if your device was apart of any affected lots, you may search FDA reports on AccessData.FDA.gov.
This device is for the assay of blood using testing strips, which can be inserted into a data port/strip port found on the bottom of the device. These devices are used primarily by individuals with medical conditions affecting insulin levels such as Diabetes(Type 1 or 2), and provides an ease of access for on-the-spot testing when aided with testing strips and a lancing device.
The monitor itself is fairly simple to handle and navigate through, and was intended for use for both patients and medical staff.
