INTRODUCTION OF THE SYSTEM
Intended Use
The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use).
It should be used only for testing glucose (sugar) and only with fresh capil-
lary whole blood samples taken from the finger and the alternative sites
including the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh. The
system is intended for use in the home and in clinical settings. It should not
be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing of newborns.
AST in this system can be used only during steady-state blood glucose
conditions described in the section of “About AST”.
Principle of Measurement
The test is based on the measurement of electrical current generated
by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The meter mea-
sures the current and displays the corresponding blood glucose level. The
strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of
glucose in the blood sample.
