25 test strips for glucofix tech sensor

Product Description

Sensors for self-monitoring of blood glucose.

Features

The sensors for self-monitoring of blood glucose for the Glucofix Tech Sensor are intended for the quantitative determination of glucose levels in fresh capillary whole blood. The sensors are an in vitro diagnostic medical device and are intended for the monitoring and self-monitoring of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus and can also be used in hospital settings by healthcare professionals.

Directions for use

To obtain accurate test results, allow the sensors and the meter to adjust to the surrounding environment for at least 30 minutes before checking blood glucose. The operating conditions are: temperature 5-45 °C (41-113 °F); relative humidity 20-90%.

1. Remove 1 sensor from the vial with clean, dry hands: the sensors are for single use only; do not use sensors if they are wet, damaged, or stored in a damaged vial. Tightly close the vial cap immediately after removing the sensor. Use the sensor immediately;
2. Insert a new sensor into the sensor opening on the meter. The drop symbol will start flashing on the display;
3. Collect a blood sample using a lancing device and a new lancet, following the instructions for use.
4. Press the drop of blood to the tip of the sensor until the control window is full: Do not test blood that drips or spreads from the puncture site. Do not smear blood on the sensor. Do not press the sensor forcefully onto the puncture site. Do not touch the sensor while the meter is counting down.
5. The test result will appear on the screen as soon as the test is complete.
6. Press the eject button to remove the sensor. Once used for blood glucose monitoring, the sensors and lancets become biohazardous waste and must be disposed of according to local biohazardous waste regulations. If the test results are not consistent with your perceived health status: Make sure you performed the test correctly, as explained in the user manual. Then, perform a control test to verify that the system is working properly. If blood from the palm or forearm was used, repeat the test using a fingertip blood sample (do not use an alternate blood sampling site). If the test result is still not consistent with your perceived health status, consult your doctor or healthcare professional.

Warnings

Dispose of the used vial and sensors according to local regulations. Handling blood can be dangerous. You or others could become infected with disease-causing microorganisms due to incorrect or imprecise procedures. Use extreme caution when handling blood, test strips, lancets, and the meter.

Store all unused test strips in the original vial and close the cap tightly after removing a test strip to preserve their quality. Do not transfer test strips to other containers.
