Technical Data

Please read information packaged with test strips regarding up to date product specifications and limitations.

Measuring Principle: The glucose dehydrogenase converts the glucose in a blood sample to gluconolac- tone. This reaction liberates an electron that reacts with a coenzyme electron acceptor, the oxidized form of the mediator hexacyanoferrate (III), forming the reduced form of the mediator, hexacyanoferrate (II). The test strip employs the electromechanical principle of biamperom- etry. The monitor applies a voltage between two identical electrodes, which causes the reduced mediator formed during the incubation period to be reconverted to an oxidized mediator. This generates a small current that is read by the monitor. The meter detects electrical current change and with the aid of the code key, converts the signal obtained into a displayed reading.
