Roche Accu Chek Guide 100 React Blood Glucose Strips from Roche Diagnostics facilitate home testing for people with diabetes. They are designed to be used in the brand's Accu Chek Guide and Accu Chek Guide me blood glucose meters.
Roche Accu Chek Guide 100 React Blood Glucose Strips from Roche Diagnostics are plastic pieces to which pyrroloquinoline quinone has been added. This is an enzymatic compound which, together with other elements, allows blood glucose levels to be read. Hence, when the fluid comes into contact with the green area of the strip, it is only necessary to wait a few seconds to obtain the results.
It also contains components such as sodium salt to transform the reaction that occurs on the strip into an electrical discharge. The device's measurement of this shock is translated into the test result.
This is why it is important to use an adequate amount of blood on the strip at the first contact with the strip. Thus, if blood is applied twice to the same strip, 100 % reliable results will no longer be obtained.
Test strips are the easiest and fastest way science has found to help people monitor their blood glucose levels. This helps to make informed decisions about the need for insulin injections or other treatment.
Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of these strips for people who need to measure their blood glucose on a daily basis.
It is recommended to place the Accu-Chek Active test strip in the monitor and prick the side of the finger to extract the sample. To do this, the finger should be tilted, which makes it easier to expel the blood.
The test strip has a green field, which should touch the drop of blood. Wait 30 to 60 seconds to observe the test result.
When testing independently and for the first time, it is advisable to ask for observation by personnel specialised in the use of glucose measuring instruments.
Remove only the strip to be used from the container and reseal the container tightly.
