Product overview
VivaChek Bree Test Strip is a blood glucose test strip manufactured by VivaChek Biotech (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd.
Sourcing note: the "Bree" product does not appear in VivaChek's current officially-marketed diabetes product lineup or current test-strip category listings -- the only VivaChek-hosted page found for it sits under an "/archive/" URL path, suggesting this may be a legacy or region-specific product no longer part of the brand's actively promoted global range, even though it remains sold by some Bangladesh retailers. No FDA 510(k) clearance record specifically naming "Bree" could be found despite searching all filings under the VivaChek applicant name -- this listing does not claim FDA clearance for this product. Meter compatibility conflict: some Bangladesh retailers indicate Bree strips pair with a dedicated "VivaChek Bree" meter, while a separate retailer listing claims compatibility with the VivaChek Ino meter using a strip-model code that does not match Ino's FDA-confirmed model number -- this discrepancy could not be resolved and is disclosed rather than guessed at. Buyers should confirm meter compatibility directly against their specific meter's packaging or manual before purchase.
