Getting to know your instrument
The GL50 blood glucose monitor is intended for fast and simple blood glucose measurement of fresh
capillary blood samples, either for self-testing or in a clinical environment by trained personnel.
It enables you to measure your blood glucose quickly and easily, store the measured values and dis-
play the average of all measured values, thereby providing optimum assistance for monitoring your
diabetes. The test is performed exclusively externally (IVD).
The backlit display shows measured values clearly. The user-friendly design with handy test strips
and the simple controls with just a small number of buttons guarantee simple, yet reliable measure-
ments.
The device can be connected directly to a PC using the integrated USB connection. You can evaluate
the measured values on your PC using special software (in English and German) and use the results
to monitor your blood glucose values.
