Bayer HealthCare Contour TS User Manual page 18

Principles of the Procedure:
glucose test is based on measurement of electrical current
caused by the reaction of the glucose with the reagent on
the electrode of the strip. The blood sample is drawn into
the tip of the test strip through capillary action. Glucose in
the sample reacts with FAD glucose dehydrogenase
(FAD-GDH) and potassium ferricyanide. Electrons are
generated, producing a current that is proportional to the
glucose in the sample. After the reaction time, the glucose
concentration in the sample is displayed. No calculation is
required.
The C
Comparison Options:
designed for use with venous and capillary whole blood.
Comparison to a laboratory method must be done
simultaneously with aliquots of the same sample. Note:
Glucose concentrations drop rapidly due to glycolysis
(approximately 5% – 7% per hour).
