LifeSmart Cholesterol Multi-Meter

The LifeSmart Cholesterol Multi-Meter is a compact, easy-to-use device for at-home total cholesterol monitoring. Used with LifeSmart Cholesterol Test Strips (sold separately), it delivers clear, digital results from a small fingerstick sample—ideal for tracking lifestyle changes or therapy under your health professional’s guidance. A bright display, intuitive prompts, and built-in memory simplify regular checks, while the portable design and protective case make it convenient for travel or clinic use.

The meter guides you from strip insertion to sample application and result display. Store and review previous readings, view averages, and choose mmol/L or mg/dL units (where supported). Auto shut-off preserves battery life, and an error-checking system helps ensure reliable measurements when strips are used and stored correctly.
