Test principle
Glucose in the whole blood sample mixes with chemicals in the test strip and a small electric current is
produced. The strength of this current changes with the amount of glucose in the whole blood sample.
The meter measures the current, calculates the patient’s blood glucose level, displays the blood glucose
result, and stores it in its memory.
Standard precautions
When testing multiple patients, it is important to follow your institution’s policies and local standards
and guidelines that apply to your region.
