This product is a blood glucose monitoring system designed for individuals with diabetes. It includes a glucometer and 50 test strips, allowing users to measure their blood sugar levels quickly and accurately. The device features a color-coded display that provides immediate feedback on whether the blood glucose level is within the target range.
Benefits: -Ease of Use: The glucometer is user-friendly with a simple interface, making it accessible for all age groups. Accurate Readings: Provides reliable and precise blood glucose measurements, essential for effective diabetes management. Color-Coded Feedback: Offers visual cues (green, yellow, red) to help users understand their glucose levels at a glance. Memory Function: Stores previous readings, allowing users to track their glucose trends over time. Bluetooth Connectivity: Some models may offer connectivity options to sync data with mobile apps for better tracking and management.
Precautions: -Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use to ensure accurate results. -Ensure that test strips are stored properly in their original container to avoid contamination or degradation. -Check expiration dates on test strips before use; expired strips may yield inaccurate results. -Consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to diabetes management based on glucometer readings.
Side Effects: -There are generally no side effects associated with using the glucometer itself; however, improper use can lead to incorrect readings which may affect diabetes management. -Skin irritation or discomfort may occur at the site of blood sampling if not done correctly.
Main Material and Their Benefits: Glucometer Components: -Plastic housing: Provides a lightweight and durable exterior for easy handling. -Electronic components: Include sensors and circuitry for processing blood glucose readings and displaying results. -LCD screen: Displays test results and other relevant information clearly. -Battery: Powers the device, often a coin cell or rechargeable battery.
Test Strips Components: -Enzymes: Primarily flavin adenine dinucleotide dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) for glucose detection. -Metal electrodes: Facilitate the electrochemical reaction necessary for accurate measurements. -Plastic substrate: Holds the components of the strip together and ensures stability. -Buffer solutions: Help maintain optimal pH for the enzymatic reaction. -Drying agent: Included in the vial to protect strips from moisture and preserve their efficacy.
