Intended Use
The system is intended for use outside the body (
in vitro
diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and
by health care professionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is
intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from
the finger, palm, forearm, upper arm, calf and thigh).
It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, or testing on newborns.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood. The glucose testing is based on the
measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The meter
measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, and displays the result. The strength of the current
produced by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
