Dear Keto-Mojo
System User,
®
Thank you for choosing the Keto-Mojo
GK+ Blood Glucose and β-Ketone Dual
®
Monitoring System! The Keto-Mojo
GK+ Blood Glucose and β-Ketone Dual
Monitoring System is designed for easy and accurate testing of blood glucose and
β-ketone levels.
Read this User's Manual carefully before you use your system. This manual will
help you use the system properly for reliable test results. Please keep your User's
Manual in a safe place, as you may want to refer to it in the future. You will also want
to keep the meter box (and any strip boxes you purchase) as your control solution
test ranges are printed or stickered on the box. You will also find manuals and other
resources, such as instructional videos, at keto-mojo.com.

Blood Glucose Test Strips and Keto-Mojo
Blood β-Ketone Test
Strips. The glucose measurement is achieved by using the amperometric detection
method. The test is based on measurement of electrical current caused by the
reaction of the glucose with the reagents on the electrode of the test strip. The blood
sample is pulled into the tip of the test strip through capillary action. Glucose in the
sample reacts with glucose enzyme and the mediator. Electrons are generated,
producing a current that has positive correlation to the glucose concentration in the
sample. After the reaction time, the glucose concentration in the sample is
displayed.
The test principle of the β-ketone is based on the amperometric detection of
β-hydroxybutyrate
(also
known
as
3-hydroxybutyrate)
in
whole
blood.
β-hydroxybutyrate is converted by the enzyme β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase

Questions and answers
Let me start by saying this I have been doing this a long time, so I definitely know how to use this. I upgraded from an older model. My new monitor worked fine for a few weeks, but today it stopped reading the strips of Ketones with blood. I pricked several fingers to make sure. It detects the control solution, but not always. It reads the glucose test strips with no problems both with blood and control solution. What could be wrong?
