INTENDED USE
The sm artLAB®nG blood glucose systems are in tended f or the quan titative measure-
men t of glucose in venous blood or fr esh capillary whole blood samples dr awn from
the n gertip, palm or forearm. T esting is don e outside th e body (In Vitro diagn ostic
use). It is in dicated for self-testing by person s with diabetes, or in clini cal settings
by healthcar e providers , as an aid to monitor th e effectiveness of di abetes control.
The system is n ot to be used on neonates, is n ot for the di agnosis of or scr eening
for di abetes mellitus, and that altern ate site testing can only be used durin g steady-
state blood glucose con ditions.
IMPORT ANT
Please read this in sert and the smartLAB®nG U ser’s Manu al before usin g
smartLAB®nG Blood Glu cose Test Strips . If you have any question s and/or need as-
sistance , please contact our authorized distributors in your coun try .
MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
Apply a blood sample to the blood collecti on area at the tip of th e strip. The test
strip will dr aw the blood sample into the r eaction zone . The F AD-binding glucose d e-
hyd rogenase catalyzes th e glucose deh ydrog enation. It will pr oduce glu conolactone .
During th e reaction, a medi ator transfers electr ons to the electr ode surface and g en-
erates a curr ent. The amoun t of the curr ent is proporti onal to the amoun t of glucose
presen t in the blood sample. After 5 secon ds, the sm artLAB®nG system will show
glucose con centration on th e screen.
REAGENT COMPOSITI ON
Each test strip contain s the following r eagent:
6 (w/w) % FAD glu cose dehydr ogenase
(Asper gillus oryzae, 2.0 IU/test strip)
56 (w/w) % P otassium ferricyanide
38 (w/w) % Non-r eactive ingredien ts
