General Information
1. What is the VivaChek Lactate
Analyzer?
The VivaChek Lactate Analyzer is a portable device designed to measure lactate levels in blood quickly and accurately, helping athletes, trainers, and medical professionals optimize performance and recovery.
2. Who can use the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer?
The device is suitable for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, coaches, and medical professionals who need to monitor lactate levels for training or health purposes.
3. Why is lactate monitoring
important?
Monitoring lactate levels helps evaluate an individual's aerobic and anaerobic performance, optimize training intensity, and prevent overtraining. It’s also used in medical settings to assess metabolic conditions.
Device Features
4. What makes the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer unique?
Our analyzer offers fast, lab-quality results, user-friendly operation, and portability. It uses advanced biosensor technology for precise and reliable measurements.
5. Is the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer easy to use?
Yes, the device is designed for simplicity, with an intuitive interface and easy-to-follow instructions, making it suitable for both professionals and non-experts.
6. Does the analyzer require
calibration?
Yes, the analyzer requires calibration using a code chip provided with the test strips. Always verify that the code displayed on the meter matches the code on the strip box or vial label before starting the test.
Usage & Operation
7. What is the accurate test protocol for the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer?
Step 1. Prepare for Testing:
Clean the fingertip or earlobe with an alcohol pad and let it dry completely.
Use a lancet to prick the finger or earlobe and wipe off the first drop of blood with a clean tissue (not an alcohol pad).
Step 2. Insert Test Strip:
Insert the test strip into the meter. Ensure the code on the meter matches the strip container. If not, recalibrate using the code card.
Step 3. Collect and Apply Blood:
Gently squeeze the finger or earlobe to get a fresh drop of blood.
Touch the test strip’s sample port to the blood drop without immersing it. The meter will beep or start counting when the sample is sufficient.
Step 4. Wait for Results:
Do not remove the strip before the meter completes testing. If the blood sample is insufficient, use a new strip and collect a fresh drop of blood.
Precautions
1. If the test strip or meter has been exposed to temperatures outside the working range (10-45°C), place them in a suitable testing environment and allow them to acclimate for 15 minutes before testing.
2. Do not apply excessive pressure to the finger or earlobe when squeezing out blood, as this may introduce tissue fluid and affect the results.
3. Perform the test as soon as possible after squeezing out the blood drop. Avoid exposing the blood drop for an extended period before testing; it is recommended to complete the test within 10 seconds after the blood drop is collected.
4. Always take out the test strips only when you are ready to perform a test. Do not expose unused strips to air, as the enzyme in the strips may react with air and lead to false results.
8. Why might the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer results differ from other brands?
VivaChek lactate meter is calibrated with YSI Biochemistry Analyzer, widely regarded as the gold standard in lactate testing. While results may differ from other biosensor meters, this variation reflects the difference in calibration methodologies. To get the most accurate and reliable data, we recommend consistently using VivaChek lactate meter. By doing so, you can redefine your lactate threshold based on our highly precise measurements, ensuring consistency and confidence in your training and performance analysis.
9. Can I store test results?
Yes, the device has a memory feature that stores 500 results with date and time for easy tracking and analysis of lactate trends over time.
Product Maintenance
10. How do I clean and maintain the device?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid immersing the device in water or using harsh chemicals. Refer to the user manual for detailed care instructions.
11. Do I need to replace any parts?
The test strips are disposable and need to be replaced after each use. The lancet and control solutions should also be replenished as needed.
Technical Questions
12. Are the test strips universal?
No, the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer requires specific VivaChek lactate test strips for accurate results. These can be purchased separately.
13. Does the analyzer connect to an app or computer?
Yes, the VivaChek Lactate Analyzer supports data transfer to compatible VivaGuard apps or devices via bluetooth, enabling convenient tracking and analysis.
14. What is the sample size required?
The analyzer requires a small blood sample, typically 0.5µL, making it minimally invasive.
Support & Warranty
15. What should I do if the device isn’t working?
