2.1 Always observe the following points

Intended use
•
This system is intended for taking an adult's blood glucose test from the finger tip, alternatively
from the ball of the hand or lower arm. Thereby it is a matter of a fast, electro-chemical
determination of the blood glucose level. The FAD-binding glucose-dehydrogenase converts
the glucose in human blood to gluconolactone. The device measures the current, which is
released by this reaction and which is in proportion to the blood glucose volume.
•
The system is intended for external use (in vitro) and can be used for self-testing by persons
with diabetes or in clinical settings by healthcare professionals as an aid to monitor the
effectiveness of diabetes control.
