a sample of blood obtained by fingerstick is applied to the
One Drop Test Strip. The blood sample size for the One Drop
Meter is a minimum of 0.5 µL.
The blood reacts with a reagent on the One Drop Test Strip
that contains glucose oxidase, an electron mediator, and
other materials. The chemical reaction with glucose that takes
place on the strip generates an electrical signal that is mea-
sured and processed by the One Drop Meter.
The meter computes a glucose concentration and displays
the result. The measurement range of the system is 20 to
600 mg/dL glucose. Capillary whole blood samples with a
hematocrit range of 20% to 60% can be measured.
The One Drop Meter is calibrated to provide a glucose con-
centration for a capillary whole blood sample that is equiva-
lent to the plasma glucose concentration of that sample.
One Drop Test Strips
Use the One Drop Test Strips only with the One Drop Meter
to quantitatively measure the glucose in fresh capillary whole
blood drawn from your fingertip.
