2.1 Always observe the following points
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.
