INTRODUCTION OF THE SYSTEM
• Intended Use
The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). It should be
used only for testing glucose (sugar) and only with fresh capillary whole blood samples (from
the finger, the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh). The system is
intended for use in the home and in clinical settings. It should not be used for the diagnosis
of diabetes or for the testing of newborns.
AST in this system can be used only during steady-state blood glucose conditions described
in the “About AST” section.
• Principle of Measurement
The test is based on the measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of
glucose with the reagent of the strip. The meter measures the current and displays the
corresponding blood glucose level. The strength of the current produced by the reaction
depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
