Lactate Monitoring

THE EDGE Handheld Lactate Analyser

Simple to use - accurate reading in 45 seconds

The EDGE Lactate Analyser is a handheld device that measures lactate concentration in blood as a means for athletes and coaches to accurately assess the capability of the muscles for an athletic performance. Lactate measurement in blood is far more precise than the old and inefficient method of using percentages of maximum heart rate to set training zones.

 

The EDGE lactate Analyser only needs 3 μl of blood from a finger tip or ear lobe to be placed on the ergonomically designed EDGE Lactate Test Strips. The test strips have a siphoning action which can draw the blood in and specify the lactate concentration in blood. A numeric result is displayed via easy to read, large LCD screen in less than 45 seconds with both date and time.  The result is comparable to laboratory reference standard.

                       

The EDGE holds up to 300 results, each date and time stamped. The EDGE Handhold Lactate Analyser can be use by coaches, trainers, sports scientists and sports medicine personnel; in training of individuals and teams at all levels of competition, or as a flexible and inexpensive tool complementary to laboratory analysis.

THE EDGE Control Solution

S
!

The purpose of the control solution check is to validate the performance of the EDGE Blood Lactate Analyzer using a standard solution with a known concentration range of lactate. A control solution test that falls within the acceptable range indicates the user’s technique is appropriate, and both the meter and the test strip are functioning properly.

Perform a control solution test:

  • Whenever there is doubt that the meter or the test strips are not working properly.
  • If the meter has been dropped, stored below -10°C (14°F) or above 55°C (131°F), or stored in humidity levels above 95%.
  • If the test strip bottle has been left open or has been exposed to temperatures below 4°C (39.2°F) or above 30°C (86°F) and/or light or humidity levels above 85%.
  • If the readings appear to be abnormally high or low.

IMPORTANT:

  • The acceptable range for the control solution is listed on the package of test strips.
  • Use only the recommended lactate control solutions.
  • Always check the expiration date. DO NOT use control solutions if expired.
  • If a control solution test is not within the expected range that is printed on the test strip package, DO NOT use the Meter System to test. Repeat the test until a control solution test performs within the expected range. If the results continue falling outside the expected range, call the authorized dealer for service.
  • DO NOT touch the test area with the tip containing control solution.
  • DO NOT apply a second drop of control solution to the test strip.
  • DO NOT smear the control solution with the tip containing control solution.
  • Please refer to your control solution's package insert for additional information.
