  • Page 27 Warnings for the healthcare The BSICare strips contain the glucose oxidase, an enzyme specific for glucose. Therefore, they can be used on dialysis patients where the concentration of maltose in the blood increases, without the risk of false positives. The strips containing the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase together with the coenzyme PQQ (GDH-PQQ) determine glucose in a less specific way instead, and, therefore, they are influenced by high concentrations of other sugars in the blood.
