Test Strips
Precision Xceed Pro Test Strips offer the latest advancements in biosensor technology. The test
strips work by first inserting the contact bars into the monitor. Then the sample is applied to the
target area, covering both the working electrode and the reference electrode. This area is coated
with active ingredients that react in the presence of glucose to make a small electric current. This
current is passed through the strip to the contact bars and the monitor, which calculates a glucose
result.
Precision Xceed Pro Blood Glucose Test Strips use proprietary glucose-specific chemistry that
includes the glucose dehydrogenase enzyme, NAD cofactor and PQ mediator (GDH-NAD). This chemistry is used for
testing glucose because it is not affected by maltose, icodextrin, and other common substances at normal therapeutic levels.
It also ensures minimal measurement bias from oxygen, haematocrit and other physiological variables.
Precision Xceed Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strips are also available for use with the Precision Xceed Pro System. These test
strips have chemistry to specifically measure β-hydroxybutyrate, the primary ketone body
produced when a patient is developing ketoacidosis.
Both glucose and β-ketone test strips also have exclusive blood application features to
ensure reliable sampling. First, the target area may be filled by applying a drop of sample to
the top of the test strip or by dipping the end of the test strip in the sample. Second, the fill
trigger electrode ensures that the test will only start once sufficient blood has been applied.
Together, these features minimize the possibility of errant results due to sample application
technique.
IMPORTANT : Do not apply blood to the test strip when the test strip is out of the monitor. Do not use wet,
bent, scratched or damaged test strips.
Each test strip is protected by a foil packet bearing an individual bar code label. The foil packet maintains the integrity of
each test strip by protecting it from exposure to air and moisture and accidental contamination. The bar code label holds
information about the test strip including the lot number, calibration, expiry date, and expected control solution ranges.
One quick scan provides the monitor with all this information at the time of the test.
IMPORTANT : Do not scan a packet’s bar code and use a test strip from another packet. This may cause
incorrect results to be generated. Use the test strip immediately after opening its foil packet.
Do not use the test strip if the foil packet has a puncture or tear in it.
There are three types of test strips that may be used for testing with the Precision Xceed Pro system: the light blue
Precision Xceed Pro Blood Glucose Test Strip (in blue foil), the green Precision PCx Plus Blood Glucose Test Strip (in
gold foil) for testing glucose levels in fresh whole blood, and the purple Precision Xceed Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strip
(in purple foil) for testing β-ketone levels in fresh whole blood. Inside each box of test strips is a package insert with
detailed instructions for use.

IMPORTANT : The Precision Xceed Pro System will only work with Precision Xceed Pro or Precision PCx Plus
brand test strips. Use of any other test strip may cause erroneous results.
Control Solutions
Control solutions are used to perform regular quality control checks on the monitor to ensure it is functioning correctly.
Control testing is further described in Chapter 4. Use Precision, Optium, or MediSense Blood Glucose and β-Ketone
Control Solutions with the Precision Xceed Pro System. These control solutions are available in one, two or three level
configurations.
