Stiftung Warentest rated the Omnitest 3 blood glucose measuring system from B. Braun Melsungen AG as “good” overall in the test. In the test, a total of 16 blood glucose meters with test strips were examined for different criteria such as accuracy, handling and reliability.

For Omnitest 3, Stiftung Warentest particularly emphasized the high measurement accuracy and easy handling as well as the design, tested in a drop test from a height of 80 cm. It was also confirmed that Omnitest 3 not only has the fastest system on the market (3 seconds) but also requires the lowest amount of blood at 0.3 microliters. Automatic coding also had a high priority for the evaluation.

B. Braun successfully introduced Omnitest 3 in June 2010. The evaluation by Stiftung Warentest confirms the company's statements when advertising the device. The features of Omnitest 3 highlighted by Stiftung Warentest, coupled with standard functions such as a large LCD display, acoustic signal and automatic switch-off, make the device a reliable companion for every diabetes patient.

Omnitest 3 is available individually or as a set with the Omnilance lancing device with lancets in the units mg/dL or mmol/L. The associated test strips Omnitest 3 are available in the variants 2 x 25 pieces and 2 x 50 pieces. Like the Omnitest 3 measuring system, they can be prescribed budget-free to diabetics requiring insulin via an aid prescription. The associated control solution and the PC connection cable, with which further analyzes can be carried out with the DIABASS software, are available individually.
