What comes with this monitor? Is there a sample of some of the test strips and a lancet device of some sort?

It was so long ago I cannot remember if any test strips came with but there was a small lancet device that fits in an elastic band around the vial to hold it with the meter. Veryconvenient.

Short answer: Buy more test strips and lancets right away. It came with 10 test strips and a lancet device that has worked very well for me. The lancets in the device can and should be swapped out. It comes with a very small number that won't get you far--I think 10. You need a new test strip each time and the instructions say to change your lancet every time also (the disposable/replaceble needle inside). I don't do that and I haven't met anyone who does but it is what they recommend. I try to change out my lancet after maybe... 20 or so pokes (?) and I NEVER let anyone else use my lancet. That's common sense. But I wouldn't suggest other people defy their instructions and the instructions DO say to change it every single time which I did for a while before I became lazy and irresponsible. I guess I can't sue them if I get an infection.

It will come with a mechanical lancet tool but only a few lancets. Buy an extra box of lancets, usually a 100 count. I would recommend always changing the lancet after each use not only for hygiene reasons but to ensure you get a clean reading. I use it for EMT uses and works well. Make sure you keep an eye on the test strips cause as soon as you open them they expire in 6 months and if you use expired ones they will give bad readings. Also be weary of extreme temperature changes can also effect the strips. Hope this answers your question Christin.

Yes. It comes with the lancing device for obtaining the blood specimen and full instruction booklet. I don't recall for sure if it also comes with test strips but I think some were included. I find ebay a good place to find discounted test strips.

I have used the monitor for one yr. It may not be accurate comparing to lab test. But, it is good enough for users to get the result right away. Each test may take up to two minutes. You will take some blood from your finger with supplied tool and put blood on the testing strip, which is insert to the monitor. Then, monitor will provide a reading. It is a handy, do-yourself monitor.

Mine came with the meter, a very cheap case, about 10 lancets, a Microlet 2 lancet device (fingertip only, did not come with arm testing head) no test strips, and no control solution. Also came with the guides and normal literature. Overall, I was very underwhelmed with what came in the "kit".

It comes with the meter, removeable display, high amperage ring, a case and 1 set of leads with probes. I purchased a kit to enhance the lead with different probes.

Monitor only. But you can order testing strips on Amazon too, much cheaper than in Target.

The monitor does NOT come with battery and charger - that must be purchased seperately! (but it does come with a 110v power cord so if you ordered already - you'll need that to use it!)

The meter (which has the glicofacts software on it for installation on your computer), a USB extension cable, wall charger, a case (you can get a much better case when you register the meter), microlet 2 lancing device, AST cap (for alternate site testing), 10 microlet lancets, owner's manual and related paperwork.

To my knowledge there are no "Drums" for lancets and I have used the Accu-chek Aviva meter for many years. What I have is a device that resembles an oversized ballpoint pen which contains a replaceable lancet, and I do not feel it necessary to replace the lancet every time I use it. This device should have come with the meter itself. You might check with your local pharmacy to see if they can help you.

My kit came with the soft clix lancet. It appears this supplier is rather loosey-goosey with what they stock and ship. Accu-check hasn't packaged the meter with the soft-clix in 3 generations of product, so I got some old stock. If you are dead set on getting the Fast clix don't buy this one. Go to your local pharmacy.

In addition to the meter you get a sample pack of 20 test strips, 4 or 5 lancets, and a pen to load the lancets into. I never use it. I just stick myself with the lancet. You do not get the testing liquid to see if your meter reading is accurate but if you want it your pharmacist can get it for you. If you have diabetes you can ask your doctor for a meter and he'll give you one at no charge. I don't know where the seller gets his meters from but the box often says it is not intended to be sold. Before buying, You should see if can get one from your doc. Take care of yourself.

I ordered the two I did by mistake. And no, I just looked,the device is not in there. Neither were any sample Lancets. In others that I have ordered the box has been complete. They give you a few Lancets so that you can get started but these last two were just the system. I will have to pay closer attention to what I am ordering the next time. I actually already had an extra box and now I have three. The systems last a long time though and it is not necessary to have but maybe one extra for an emergency. I hope this was helpful.

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

Yes. It has a fast clip lanceting device, lancets and a small drum of glucose testing strips.

I'm tempted to answer, "yes, of course, save yourself the two or three dollars" but there's no way for me to know how that monitor is configured. If it's a good deal on the monitor, get it, and buy a charger that will work, later, after you've identified the + and - pin locations.
