Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary
whole blood samples drawn from the ngertips,
forearm, upper arm, palm, calf or thigh.
The system is intended for self-testing outside the
body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes
and is an at-home aid to monitor the effectiveness of
diabetes control. It should not be used for the diagno
-
sis or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use.
Test Principle
Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current
that is produced when a blood sample mixes with
the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. The
electrical current changes with the amount of glucose
in the blood sample. The Prodigy AutoCode
®
meter
measures the strength of the electrical current, calcu-
lates the blood glucose level and then displays the
result in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles
per liter (mmol/L). (USA standard: mg/dL)
