GLUCOMETER TEST

Definition

This tool is designed to measure quantitative blood glucose levels, can be used independently
by patients at home as well as in health facilities.

Glucose meter consists of meter, code chip, and strip. To ensure the acncuracy of the work
Glucometer, then each time using a test strip from the new packaging tubes Code Chip must
be replaced. Glucometer tool has the advantage that can be usedindependently by the patient
at home so that blood glucose levels can be monitored quickly, The volume of blood required
is relatively little that is + 0,3 – 10 µl, samples that can be used is blood capillary, venous,
arterial and neonatal blood and time needed is also relatively short at around 30 seconds.
Glucometers test shows the results of blood glucose between 10-600 mg / dl.
Function

Persons with diabetes needs to monitor and control sugar levels of diabetes, its main purpose
is to prevent the possibility of adverse results from increased blood sugar levels in the body.
In a check or control blood sugar levels, people with diabetes is expected to exercise control
over food intake and patterns of living independently. So that the patient does not need to
check and control the blood glucose to the doctor or the laboratory, because people can check
their own with ease.

Work System

Principle :

Test strip biosensor with two electrodes and the enzyme glucose oxidase using
electrochemical detection technique and a dry reagent strip where the blood is added to the
test strip itself automatically tool will release the results appear on the screen.

Ways of working :

1. Equipment installed in advance calibrator and matched by serial number of calibator.

2. take 1 piece of test strips from the vial and insert the tool by following the arrow and
wait until the resulting mark drops of blood (blood insert) appears on the screen.
3. The capillary blood obtained from a fingertip touched at the end of the test strip and
let the blood sucked by the power capillarity (1.5 ul)
4 Wait for 10 seconds countdown will appear on the screen glucose levels.
5 Remove the test strip and medical waste dumped into the tub
