Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body ( in vitro diagnostic
use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care professionals
in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabe-
tes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement
of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from the finger, palm,
forearm, upper arm, calf and thigh).
It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, or testing on
newborns.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood.
The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current
generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The
meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, and
displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the reac-
tion depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
