Health Management Tools: Cardiocheck Blood Testing Device

Long gone are the days in which a trip to the doctor's office was required in order to receive important health related information. Though regular check-ups will always be important, the Cardiocheck blood testing device can be used to monitor cholesterol, HDL levels, triglycerides, glucose levels and more from anywhere. The device is currently available in two versions, with both being FDA approved.

Unfortunately, heart disease is far too common. However, it is possible to manage the condition and lower risks if the correct lifestyle changes are implemented. A large part of controlling this disease is knowing what your cholesterol levels are. This is where the Cardiocheck blood testing device can be a vital instrument in the management of your diet. Numbers are everything, as they can quickly tell you whether or not changes need to be made.

Only a small sample is needed in order to receive an accurate reading. Results are made available in approximately two minutes. The unit is small enough to fit easily into your hand and can easily fit into a pocket or purse. The digital readout is large, making for easy reading. Internal memory allows the last thirty readings to remained stored within the unit. This information can then be provided to your physician if need be.

Additional features of the Cardiocheck blood testing device include the ability to display six different languages, full calibration is already completed, and the unit comes with a carrying case. Never has it been easier to learn vital information in regard to your health. Instead of worrying over your levels, consider owning your own blood testing unit for your own peace of mind.

Seca 769 Digital Medical Scales with BMI

What the Seca 769 offers is a method of determining much more than simply weight. Many now consider BMI to be a much better indicator of overall health than total pounds. This scale offers an accurate BMI reading that can be used to determine whether or not action needs to be taken on the part of the patient.

Battery operated and portable, the Seca 769 can easily be transported from location to location. The scale comes equipped with castors that allow it to easily be rolled throughout any home or facility. A "hold" function is also included. This function allows the reading to held until it can be read and noted.

Total weight reading capacity is 440 pounds. Weight can also be measured in kilograms. Battery operation will require four AA batteries. However, those who wish to leave the scale stationary do have the option to plug in into a wall outlet using an AC adapter. Power consumption is minimal using either power method.

Though perfect for use in medical offices, the Seca 769 is also appropriate for home use. The need to be as educated as possible in regard to BMI readings and current weight is ever present. Lower quality scales are simply not always capable of offering accurate readings, and few offer BMI measuring capability. What this unit offers is exceptional functionality and quality in a light-weight and portable scale.
