the reflected light, with the previously measured blank value and the read lot-specific information

memory.
GLUCOSE
The glucose test strip is designed with an electrode that measures glucose levels. Glucose in
the blood sample mixes with reagent on the test strip that causes a small electric current.
The amount of current that is created depends on how much glucose is in the blood. The SD
LipidoCare®Analyzer measures the current that is created and converts the measurement to the
amount of glucose that is in the blood. The blood glucose result is displayed on the LCD display.
By touching a drop of blood to the tip of the glucose test strip, the strip’s reaction chamber
automatically draws the blood into the strip through capillary action. When the chamber is full,
the SD LipidoCare®Analyzer starts to measure the blood glucose level.
3. Before You Start Testing
Samples
Lipid
The SD LipidoCare®Analyzer for lipid testing is designed for measuring fresh capillary whole
blood or venous blood (venous whole blood, serum or plasma) sample.
* Professional use only for venous blood.
Carefully read and follow the instructions in the measuring and package inserts
for the lipid test strips and control solutions. It is very important to follow the
instructions in order to prevent an incorrect result or improper treatment.
