Life Scan

**LifeScan has moved its main campus to 6500 Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont, CA**
LifeScan Inc. was founded in 1981 and released its first meter in 1983. The company has been a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson company under their Medical Devices and Diagnostics division since 1986. The four building business park located in Milpitas had been LifeScan’s headquarters for over 20 years. However, it relocated to Fremont in 2014.
LifeScan develops, manufactures, markets, distributes, and maintains vigilance and investigating of, blood glucose monitoring systems like the OneTouch and SureStep brands for home and hospital use. The company’s products include blood glucose meters, testing strips, lancing devices, and diabetes management software. These products are available and sold domestically in the U.S. and internationally in the E.U., EMEA, Asia Pacific, Mexico, and South America.
The Milpitas headquarters originally manufactured all products in-​house. Over the years, these departments have been relocated. LifeScan has facilities in Inverness, Scotland (OneTouch test strips); Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada; and Aguadilla, Puerto Rico (SureStep test strips). Meters are produced in China while lancing devices are manufactured by third party companies (Nypro, Bionostics). LifeScan continues to do in-​house tech support and marketing for its software.
While the campus is open, the buildings require passes for security reasons. As a visitor, I would recommend going to Building 1, where the security office is located. The security officers take their jobs seriously so don’t be intimidated. They regularly patrol the property and if you happen to want to have lunch near the fountains or tables, they may ask to see your badge. The establishment of a cafeteria has been in the works, so dining options are limited to off-​campus choices as of this review.
Overall, a place to visit if you want to learn more about the in’s and out’s of the glucose monitoring device industry!

This place is wonderful as they offer all types of blood glucose monitoring devices. Also this is a Johnson and Johnson company and their main goal is to provide patients with an integrated approach to treating their diabetes. The main campus in Milpitas is gorgeous with plenty of parking for visitors and if you have a hard time finding Life Scan it is located right across from Seagate.
