How Your Precision Xtra Blood Glucose and Ketone
Monitoring System Works
When you insert a test strip into your monitor, the Apply
Sample message shows on your monitor' s display window.
When a blood sample or control solution sample is applied
to the test strip, the glucose or β-Ketone reacts with the
chemicals on the test strip. This reaction produces a small
electrical current that is measured. The result shows on your
monitor' s display window.
