Beurer GL42 mg/dL

amount of blood is required (0.6 microlitres) and measurement duration is approx. five seconds. The 

test strip detects blood glucose values from 20 to 630 mg/dL.

Chemical components of the test strip sensor

• FAD glucose dehydrogenase  10%

•  Potassium ferricyanide 

46%

•  Non-reactive components 

44%

Control solution functionality

The control solution contains a fixed amount of glucose that reacts with the test strip. A test with con-

trol solution is similar to a blood test. However, control solution is used instead of blood. The measured 

result using control solution must be within the result range. This range is printed on each test strip box. 

Chemical composition of the control solution

The control solution is a red solution with the following D-glucose level (in percentage shares):
Ingredients 

Control solution LEVEL 5 

Control solution LEVEL 6

D-glucose 

0.12% 0.35%

Non-reactive components 

99.88% 99.65%

Standards

The Beurer GL42 monitor corresponds to European guidelines IVD (98/79/EC) and  

MDD (93/42/EC).

Precision

Three lots of the GL42 blood glucose test strips have been tested to assess the precision of the GL42 

blood glucose measuring system. This includes a repeat assessment using venous blood and a labora-

tory precision assessment using the control material. The blood glucose content of the venous blood 

samples ranges from 44.9 to 362.3 mg/dL and control material from three concentrations is used.
