BING Innovations has announced the launch of a new portable device DigiVibe to eliminate the pain of fingerstick for blood sugar testing.
Using advanced vibration technology, the cordless handheld device helps in improving the ease of diabetes management.
According to the company, DigiVibe makes blood glucose monitoring process more tolerable for both children and adults, by applying vibration directly to finger to block pain signals to brain.
DigiVibe medical advisor and endocrinologist Dr. Marcelo Bendix said: “The conventional way to test blood sugar for diabetes is often associated with pain, discomfort, and even fear, but DigiVibe has set out to dramatically make this experience better.
“Pain and finger soreness are among the top reasons diabetics sometimes skip blood glucose testing, which is not only dangerous, but makes it quite difficult for them to effectively manage diabetes.
“DigiVibe is truly a game-changer; it will allow patients to stay on top of their glucose testing and no longer fear the dreaded finger-prick they have to endure in the doctor’s office and at home.”
By sticking to any flat surface for hands-free use, the easy to use and portable device simplifies self-testing and diabetes management, the company said.
BING Innovations said that the DigiVibe device makes the testing of glucose levels easier and virtually painless in just 12 seconds.
The DigiVibe Starter Kit includes a sleek carrying case containing one DigiVibe device, stand and tip, lancing device, five 30-gauge lancets, and one AA lithium battery.
The battery is expected to last for nearly three months or roughly 450 finger sticks for a single user.
The FDA-registered and CE-certified device is manufactured in Mexico.
BING Innovations stated: “While many people only get their finger-pricked at their annual checkup, for those with diabetes, glucose monitoring means having to prick your finger three or more times each day.
“DigiVibe was created to reduce the pain and anxiety of checking your glucose levels, whether you’re not keen on needles or just weary of repeated finger pricks.”
