Indended use
•
This system is intended for taking an adult's blood glucose test from the finger tip, alternatively
from the ball of the hand or lower arm. Thereby it is a matter of a fast, electro-chemical determi-
nation of the blood glucose level. The FAD-binding glucose-dehydrogenase converts the glucose
in human blood to gluconolactone. The device measures the current, which is released by this
reaction and which is in proportion to the blood glucose volume.
•
The system is intended for external use (in vitro) and can be used for self-testing by persons with
diabetes or in clinical settings by healthcare professionals as an aid to monitor the effectiveness
of diabetes control.
Contraindications
•
The system is not suitable for diagnosing diabetes for children younger than 12 years.
For use on older children ask your doctor.
•
It is not suitable for diagnosing diabetes or for testing the blood glucose levels of newborn babies.
