LifeSmart Cholesterol Strips – 10 Pack

LifeSmart Cholesterol Strips are single-use, enzyme-based test strips designed for quick, convenient self-testing of total cholesterol at home or in the clinic. Used with the compatible LifeSmart Cholesterol Monitoring System (meter sold separately), the strips require only a small fingerstick sample and provide on-screen results to help you track cholesterol as part of your heart-health plan.

Each strip contains dry reagents that react with a fresh capillary blood sample. The meter reads the signal and displays your total cholesterol result (typically in mmol/L, or as set on your meter). Compact foil-protected packaging helps preserve accuracy, and the pack of 10 strips is ideal for monthly checks, medication reviews, or short monitoring programs under the guidance of your health professional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which device do these strips work with?
A: They are designed for the LifeSmart Cholesterol Monitoring System (meter sold separately). Check your meter and packaging for compatibility.

Q: What kind of sample do I need?
A: Use a fresh capillary blood drop from a clean, dry fingertip using a lancing device and sterile lancet.

Q: Do I need to fast?
A: Follow your health professional’s advice. Some reviews of cholesterol involve a fasting sample; others may not.

Q: How do I use a strip correctly?
A: Insert a strip into the meter, allow it to prompt for the sample, then touch the blood drop to the strip’s edge so it fills the channel. Avoid smearing or squeezing the finger excessively. Follow your meter’s user guide for exact steps.

Q: How should I store the strips?
A: Keep strips sealed in their original foil/vial, dry, and at the temperature range stated on the pack. Do not refrigerate or expose to heat/humidity. Use before the expiry date.

Q: Do I need to code/calibrate the meter?
A: Many modern meters are auto-coding. Check your user manual; if a code chip or setting is required, follow those steps before testing.

Q: How accurate are the results?
A: Accuracy depends on proper storage, technique, and device quality control. Use control solution if recommended by your meter to verify performance, and confirm unusual results with your clinician.

Q: What units will I see?
A: Most Australian meters display mmol/L (or mg/dL if configured). Your meter’s settings determine the units shown.

Q: Are the strips reusable?
A: No. Strips are single-use. Discard used strips and lancets safely in a sharps/container per local guidance.

Q: Who should interpret the results?
A: Use results to support your care, but discuss targets and any changes with your doctor or pharmacist.
