Principles of the Procedure: The
C
ontour
n
ext
GEN 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.
Comparison Options: The

GEN system is designed
for use with capillary whole blood. Comparison with a laboratory
method must be done simultaneously with aliquots of the same sample.
NOTE: Glucose concentrations drop rapidly due to glycolysis
(approximately 5%–7% per hour).
