- hate people who think they know about T1D, but they really don't
Competition is good though. I am hoping it works in our favourI am sure that eventually this type of thing will beomce standard and as such the prices will come down, however I wouldn't assume its going to be any cheaper than the current market entrants jsut yet.
"The K’Track Glucose is expected to retail for $149 with 30-day replacement capsules for $99. K’Track Athlete will sell for $199 with 30-day capsules for $149. No telling when you’ll be able to get it, though; the company says they’re waiting for FDA approval, for which they’ve applied."
Both of these pricings are higher than the freestyle libre
Looks like a nice bit of kit..
However, I would need to take it off for certain activities. Like working on my van for instance, in tight spaces? I've caught & broken normal watches..
Or get a more reliable van???!
You usually just exchange the $ sign for the £ sign to get the UK price. Sadly US prices rarely translate to UK/Europe prices as they shouldThe K'Track Glucose works out about £120 for the device and £80/month for the capsule (at current exchange rate) - so initial out lay will be higher than the Libre but monthly costs on par or slightly less than the Libre. Hopefully without the adhesive reaction - I'm interested!
Many thanks @ChrisH5!Not sure if this'll work (most image hosting sites are blocked in my work - as is anything but the front page of this one) but try this
in fact here's the text;
When will K'Track® be available ?
Product will be available as soon as medical certification is being passed. This date will vary from region to region. If all developments go well, first product introduction is planned for 2018. In the meantime, you are welcomed to subscribe to our newsletter in the contact page in order to be updated about our progresses.
What is in the K'Track pack ?
The K’Track Glucose pack consists of:
The K’Track Athlete pack consists of:
- 1 K’Track Glucose watch
- 1 load box
- 1 free application
How does K’aspsul® work ?
- 1 K’Track Athlete armband
- 1 load box
- 1 free application
K’apsul is a tiny consumable that need to be plugged in K’Track devices.
K’aspul can make unlimited measurements for a period of 30 days, after which it should be changed.
Each K’apsul integrates is composed of bio sensors and of SkinTaste® technology an array of micro-needles. At the touch-of-a button, the probes pumps a tiny drop of interstitial fluid into the K’Track wearable device for bio-chemical analysis. While the user will feel the slight pressure of the probe pressing on their skin, they feel absolutely no pain as the sensor never reaches any nerve or blood vessel.
How accurate is it ?
K’Track is in a process of medical certification. During this process, clinical tests must be performed and officially validated, thus ensuring the accuracy of measurements.
Does K’Track allow continuous monitoring ?
K’Track Glucose does not record glucose level automatically or continuously.
User need to press K’Track on the skin before reading the result on the screen. User can however measure its glucose level as many time as he/she wants within the K’apsul‘s lifetime. He/she can also set automatic alerts on his/her K’Track to be reminded to take measurements during the day.
K’Track Athlete allows both on demand and continuous measurement. User just need to decide the interval between each measurement before he/she begins the recording sequence.
How can I change my K’apsul ?
K’aspul is easy to insert and remove from the K’Track watch. After 30 days of measurement, the K’aspul just need to be changed with another one thanks to the provided tool.
What if I already wear a watch or tracker ?
K’Track can be worn as an armband, as a watch but also as a stand alone device kept in the charging box. So you can use it and continue to wear your other devices on the wrist.
Will there be a version for children ?
We received many requests for this question so this is in the list of our projects. This is one of our priority which will require first the adult version to pass medical certification.
At what price will it be available ?
The K’Track Glucose should be priced at 149 $/€
The K’Track Athlete should be priced at 199 $/€
The K’apsul Glucose sensor, valid for 30 days, should be priced at 99 $/€
The K’apsul Athlete sensor, valid for 30 days, should be priced at 149 $/€
All these prices are subject to change, depend on local duties and taxes.
Will it be reimbursed ?
Once the medical certification process for marketing K’Track is finalized, a second process must be initiated so that it can be reimbursed by local social security and / or insurances. Level of reimbursement will vary. We will keep you updated via our newsletter.
