Medicus GlucoDr.S - PRECAUTIONS; Intended Use; Healthcare Professionals; Test Principle

Test Principle
The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System is based on measurement of electric currents caused by
the reaction of glucose with the reagents on the gold electrode of the test strip. The blood sample is
drawn into the test strip's reaction chamber through capillary action. Glucose in the sample reacts with
glucose dehydrogenase and mediator on the test strip. This reaction creates electric currents. The
consequent electric currents are proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood and converted
to the equivalent glucose concentration by the algorithm programmed in the GlucoDr.S Meter.
Healthcare Professionals
Blood glucose determination with venous blood must be performed within 15 minutes of sample
collection to avoid error from glycolysis.
In order to avoid the eects of sample temperature, keep the venous blood sample to body temperature.
The blood should be collected in EDTA or heparin containing tubes.
Do not shake the tube vigorously.
For Self-testing: GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) for quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from
ngertips. The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use by diabetic lay users as an
aid to monitor their blood glucose level. The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be
used for the diagnosis of or screening of diabetes mellitus, or for neonatal use.
For professional use: GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for testing outside the
body (in vitro diagnostic use) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in venous whole blood and
fresh capillary whole blood drawn from ngertips. The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System is
intended for use by healthcare professionals as an aid to monitor patients’ blood glucose level.
The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening of
diabetes mellitus, or for neonatal use.
