These test strips are designed for use with the Accu-Chek Performa blood glucose meter.
They utilize a unique technology that allows for accurate blood glucose measurement from a small blood sample.
Each strip is individually sealed to ensure reliability and longevity.

Benefits:
-High Accuracy: Provides precise glucose readings, which is crucial for effective diabetes management.
-Small Sample Size: Requires only a tiny drop of blood, making testing less painful and more convenient.
-Fast Results: Delivers results in approximately 5 seconds, allowing for quick decision-making regarding insulin dosage or dietary changes.
-Easy to Use: The strips are user-friendly, with clear instructions and color-coded features that help minimize errors during testing.

Precautions:
-Ensure that the test strips are stored properly, away from moisture and extreme temperatures, as this can affect their performance.
-Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use; expired strips may yield inaccurate results.
-Use only compatible Accu-Chek meters to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Side Effects:
-Improper use or contamination can lead to inaccurate readings, which may result in inappropriate management of blood glucose levels.

Main Materials and Their Benefits:
-The plastic substrate provides structural integrity to the strip, ensuring it can be handled easily without bending or breaking.
-Enzymatic Reaction One of the key components is the enzyme used in the test strips, typically glucose oxidase or dehydrogenase. This enzyme reacts with glucose in the blood sample to produce an electrical signal that is measured by the glucometer. The accuracy of this enzymatic reaction is crucial for reliable blood glucose readings.
- Protective Coating The test strips feature a protective coating that allows users to handle them without contaminating the testing area. This coating helps prevent interference from external substances, ensuring that only the blood sample affects the test result.
-High-Contrast Area The design includes a high-contrast area which aids users in applying their blood sample accurately. This feature minimizes user error and enhances ease of use, particularly for those who may have difficulty seeing small application areas.
