I am writing you in hopes of finding out more about how the new Glucoscan II blood glucose monitoring system, which a representative at Lifescan informed me that your clinic is currently using.

Originally, I saw Lifescan's announcement of this new device on the World Wide Web. The Boston Diabetes Center was listed as a test center for the Glucoscan II, and you were listed as a contact.

For a technical report that I am writing for a technical writing class at Muskeegee University, I need some help with the following questions:

1. How often does the Glucoscan II need to be calibrated in practical, everyday use conditions?

2. How accurate is the Glucoscan II compared to other similar systems that your patients have used?

3. What problems do your patients experience with this new device?

The Lifescan representative indicated that your clinic is one the leaders in implementing new technology for diabetics, and therefore I am eager to hear from you. In the report I will acknowledge your contributions, and I will send you a copy of the completed report if you wish.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
