What is the Sejoy BG-709b

The Sejoy BG-709b (also called “Sejoy Joytech BG-709b”) is a handheld blood glucose meter designed for self-testing (home use) by people who need to monitor blood glucose. It uses test strips (BS-602) and is made by Hangzhou Sejoy Electronics & Instrument Co., Ltd. in China.

 

Key Features

Here are the important technical/specification features of the BG-709b:

Feature

Detail

Assay/enzyme

Uses a Glucose Dehydrogenase flavin adenine dinucleotide enzyme (GDH-FAD) which tends to have less interference from oxygen, etc.

Measurement range

~ 0.5 to 33.3 mmol/L

Sample type

Fresh capillary whole blood, also venous, neonatal, arterial blood according to specs.

Sample volume

Very small sample, about 0.6 µL of blood.

Response (reading) time

~ 5 seconds from applying sample.

Memory / data storage

Stores up to 360 blood glucose results with date & time. Also supports averages over 7, 14, 28 days.

Units

Switchable between mmol/L or mg/dL.

Calibration / Coding

No coding needed. The strips are pre-coded / the meter does not require manual coding of strips.

Hematocrit range

Wide HCT allowable: 0-70% hematocrit. That means it works reliably even in anemia or high HCT situations in that range.

Alarm / reminders

Has an alarm clock / reminder function to remind when to test. Also voice prompt (reads results aloud) and speaker.

Other usability features

Backlight (for seeing results in low light), Bluetooth connectivity to phone, strip ejector to safely remove test strip, auto-power off after inactivity to save battery. Large/clear display (enlarged screen in upgraded version) for easier reading especially for elderly.

Power / batteries

Uses 2 × AAA alkaline batteries. Battery life for about 1000 tests.

Environmental / storage specs

Operating temperature: ~5-45 °C; storage of meter: –20-55 °C; strip storage etc. Wide humidity ranges etc. Altitude up to ~10,000 ft (~3048 m) above sea level.

Certifications

It is certified to meet ISO 15197:2015 standard for glucose meters. Also has CE mark (CE0197), and ISO 13485.

Recommended Users / Use-Cases

Here are the people / situations for which BG-709b is especially suitable:

  • People with diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) who do frequent or routine blood glucose monitoring at home.
  • Patients who require neonatal or perinatal monitoring (newborns), or pregnant women, since the device supports neonatal blood and has a wide hematocrit range.
  • People with anemia or variable hematocrit (because its HCT range is broad).
  • Elderly users or users with visual impairment: enlarged display, backlight, and voice prompt make it easier.
  • Users who need data tracking over time, perhaps sharing with caregivers or health providers, since it has memory, average values, Bluetooth connectivity for data export.
  • Anyone who wants a device that is relatively fast (5 seconds) and uses small blood volume (less pain).

 

Benefits

Here’s what users can expect to gain:

  1. Fast results – 5 seconds is quick, which helps compliance.
  2. Low pain / less blood needed due to small sample size.
  3. High accuracy (meeting ISO 15197:2015) when used per directions.
  4. Good usability / convenience: voice results, backlight, reminders, Bluetooth to sync data. Helpful especially in low-light or for visually challenged.
  5. Data tracking & trends: memory of many readings, ability to view averages (7/14/28 days) helpful in managing long-term control.
  6. Versatility: neonatal, arterial, venous, capillary samples, wide HCT ranges.
  7. Safety features: strip ejector reduces contact with used strips; auto off saves battery.
