Accu-Chek Guide 50 Strips
ROCHE Diagnostic
SKU: 47740
These test strips are designed for use with the Accu-Chek Guide blood glucose meter. Each vial contains 50 test strips that allow users to measure their blood glucose levels accurately. The strips utilize a unique design that helps minimize the amount of blood needed for testing, making it easier for individuals to monitor their glucose levels.
Benefits:
-Ease of Use: The strips are easy to handle and require only a small blood sample (0.6 µL).
-Fast Results: Users can obtain results in approximately 4 seconds, allowing for quick monitoring.
-Smart Features: The strips come with features like a spill-resistant vial and a built-in test strip port that helps prevent contamination.
-Compatibility: They are compatible with the Accu-Chek Guide meter, which offers advanced data management options through Bluetooth connectivity.
Precautions
-Ensure that the test strips are stored properly in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.
-Check the expiration date on the vial before use; expired strips may yield inaccurate results.
-Always wash hands before performing a test to avoid contamination and ensure accurate readings.
-Do not reuse or share test strips as this can lead to cross contamination and inaccurate results.
Side Effects
-There are no direct side effects associated with using the Accu-Chek Guide test strips; however, incorrect usage may lead to inaccurate readings.
-Users may experience minor discomfort from pricking their fingers for blood samples, which is common with all blood glucose testing methods.
Main Materials and Their Benefits:
-Enzyme Technology: The primary component of the Accu-Chek Guide test strips is an enzyme called glucose oxidase. This enzyme reacts specifically with glucose in the blood sample. When blood is applied to the strip, glucose oxidase catalyzes a reaction that produces hydrogen peroxide. The amount of hydrogen peroxide generated correlates directly with the concentration of glucose in the sample. High specificity for glucose ensures accurate readings. Minimizes interference from other substances that may be present in the blood.
-Electrochemical Sensor: Provides rapid results within seconds.
Enhances accuracy through precise measurement techniques.
-Hydrophilic Membrane: A hydrophilic membrane is incorporated into the design of the test strip to facilitate optimal absorption of blood samples. This membrane helps draw blood into the reaction zone effectively. Ensures sufficient sample size for accurate testing.
Reduces variability in results due to inconsistent sample application.
- Plastic Substrate: The base material of the strip is typically made from a durable plastic substrate that supports all other components while ensuring stability and ease of handling. Provides structural integrity to withstand handling during testing. Lightweight and portable for user convenience.
