    Before using your monitoring system for the first time, please read this manual carefully. # INTENDED USE This OGCare Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of the concentration of glucose in whole blood from fingertip, palm and forearm by diabetic patients or healthcare professionals as an aid in the management of diabetes.

  • Page 5: Application

    Glucose in the blood sample reacts with glucose oxidase (GOD) on the test strip and a harmless DC electrical current is produced. This current is measured by the OGCare Meter and displayed as your blood glucose result. The strength of these currents changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
