[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1346440, member: 196898"] I am worried that at least 2 CCGs are pushing meters that do not seem to be in common currency and have seemingly no previous track record or user base. The criteria is purely on cost of ownership, None of the recognised or established manufacturers is on the goto list. So we are being forced to select an unknown reliability device. Even the SD Codefree is a no-no, despite having the cheapest cost of ownership. None of the approved meters can measure ketones. None of the approved meters has FDA approval so cannot be sold in USA. The only thing these meters have in common is in having to meet the ISO 2013 tests. This is a one-off type approval test, done before release date, and ability to maintain this standard is at present unknown. Ar least one of the 4 above seems to have EMI problems, and may be affected by phone signals interfering. The user manual tells the owner that the meter should not be used near a mobile or cord free phone. One other of the meters seems to have a non standard data port, and is not USB as claimed in their blurb (to be fair the blurb was a pre-launch publication, so may be updated now, But their website was last updated 2015 so is not up to date either. I note that the person complaining about this data port has not received any reply to date. [/QUOTE]
