These strips are designed for use with the One Touch Verio blood glucose meter. They are used to measure blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. The strips utilize a technology that allows for accurate and reliable readings from a small blood sample.

Benefits:
-Provides precise blood glucose measurements, which is crucial for effective diabetes management.
-Requires only a small drop of blood (0.4 µL) for testing, making it less invasive.
-Typically delivers results within 5 seconds, allowing for timely decision-making regarding insulin or dietary adjustments.
-Provides visual cues to help users understand their glucose levels in relation to target ranges.
-Specifically designed to work seamlessly with One Touch Verio meters, ensuring optimal performance.

Precautions:
-Store the strips in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity to maintain accuracy.
- Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use; expired strips may yield inaccurate results.
- Avoid touching the test area of the strip with fingers or any other surfaces to prevent contamination that could affect results.
Proper Technique: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when using the meter and strips to ensure accurate readings.

Side Effects:
-Users may experience discomfort or pain at the site of blood collection (finger prick).
-In rare cases, individuals may have allergic reactions to components in the test strips or lancets used for blood sampling.

Main Materials and Their Benefits:
-Flavin adenine dinucleotide dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH): This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of glucose, facilitating the conversion of glucose into gluconolactone while reducing FAD. This reaction generates an electrical signal proportional to the glucose concentration, enabling accurate measurement.
-Potassium ferricyanide:This reagent acts as an electron acceptor in the glucose oxidation reaction. It helps enhance the accuracy of the test by participating in the electrochemical reaction that produces a measurable current in the presence of glucose.
-Other ingredients (buffers, etc.): Buffers help maintain the optimal pH for the enzymatic reaction, ensuring that the test operates effectively. Additional ingredients may stabilize the reagents and improve the overall performance of the test strip.
-Drying agent in the vial: This agent protects the test strips from moisture, which can degrade the chemical components and affect the accuracy and reliability of the results.
