These strips are designed for use with OneTouch blood glucose meters. They are used to measure blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. The test strips utilize a small blood sample and provide results within seconds.
They are compatible with various models of OneTouch meters, ensuring ease of use.
Benefits:
- Provides fast and accurate blood glucose readings, typically within 5 seconds.
-Requires only a tiny drop of blood, making it less painful for users.
-Simple design allows for straightforward testing without complicated procedures.
-Designed to meet stringent accuracy standards, helping users manage their diabetes effectively.
Wide Availability: Commonly found in pharmacies and online, making them accessible for patients.
Precautions
- Should be stored at room temperature (between 59°F and 86°F) and kept away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
-Always check the expiration date on the packaging; using expired strips can lead to inaccurate results.
-Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure accurate readings; improper technique can affect results.
- Use clean hands when handling the strips and performing tests to avoid contamination.
Side Effects
-Users may experience discomfort or minor pain at the site of blood collection (finger prick).
-Incorrect usage or expired strips may lead to misleading glucose readings, which could result in inappropriate management of diabetes.
Main Materials and Their Benefits:
-Glucose Oxidase (Aspergillus niger) ≥ 0.08 IU: This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of glucose, enabling accurate measurement of blood glucose levels.
-Ferricyanide ≥ 22 µg: This reagent acts as an electron acceptor in the glucose oxidation reaction, enhancing the accuracy of the test results.
-Other ingredients (buffers, etc.): These components maintain the optimal pH for the enzymatic reaction, ensuring reliable performance of the test strip.
-Drying agent in the vial: This agent protects the test strips from moisture, preserving their stability and effectiveness over time.
