Intended Use

This 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 monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the
quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples
from the fingertips, and from venous, arterial and neonatal blood sample. It should
not be used for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus.
The test for hematocrit (HCT) as part of the system, is intended for use in the in vitro
quantification of packed red blood cell volume fraction in capillary whole blood as
an aid in monitoring the status of total volume of red blood cells. The test reading of
hematocrit (HCT) is used only to determine whether the blood test sample is within
the acceptable range of Blood Glucose Monitoring System. It should not be used for
the diagnosis of anaemia or erythrocytosis.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of 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 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.
