Principles of the Procedure: The C
ontour
n
ext
blood glucose test
is based on measurement of electrical current caused by the reaction
of the glucose with the reagents on the electrode of the test strip. The
blood sample is drawn into the tip of the test strip through capillary
action. Glucose in the sample reacts with FAD glucose dehydrogenase
(FAD-GDH) and the mediator. Electrons are generated, producing
a current that is proportional to the glucose in the sample. After the
reaction time, the glucose concentration in the sample is displayed. No
calculation by the user is required.
