Is anyone currently using any waived POC ketone device for whole blood, and what do you recommend?

We use the Abbott handheld glucose instrument for Ketones; just in pediatrics.

PXP glucometer has ketone strip available, just like the glucose strip but packaging is somewhat pink in color.

We have the LucidPlus device from Vidan that does beta hydroxybutyrate. It is waived and relatively simple to perform and inexpensive.
