TEST PRINCIPLE

Testing with the iHealth system is based on the measurement of
electrical currents generated by the reaction of glucose with the
reagent of the test strip. The iHealth system measures the
current and converts it to the corresponding blood glucose level.
The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends
on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
