Note regarding function of test strips

The test strips enable a quantitative measurement of the glucose content of capillary whole blood.

When the slit for collecting blood comes into contact with a drop of blood, it ﬁlls automatically through

simple capillary action. The blood is sucked into the absorbing slit of the test strip and the measuring

device measures the glucose level of the blood.

The test is based on the measurement of an electric current caused by a chemical reaction between

the glucose and the enzyme glucose oxidase (aspergillus niger) on the test strip. During the reaction,

a mediator transports electrons through the electrode surface, thereby generating a current. The

measuring device analyses this current. The ﬂow of current is proportional to the glucose content of

the blood test. The results are shown in the display of the measuring device. Only a small quantity of

blood is required (0.6 microlitres) and the measurement takes approx. ﬁve seconds. The strips can

detect blood glucose levels in the range 20 – 630 mg/dL.

Chemical components of the test strip sensor

•

Glucose oxidase ≥ 0.6 IU

• Electron shuttle ≥ 0.03 mg

• Non-reactive components ≥ 0.06 mg

Note regarding function of the control solution

The control solution contains a ﬁxed concentration of glucose that reacts with the test strip. A test

with the control solution is performed in the same way as a blood test, but the control solution is

used instead of blood. The measurement result from the control solution must lie within the results

range. This results range is printed on every test strip container.

Chemical composition

The control solution is a red solution with the following D-glucose level (in percentage shares):

Ingredients Control solution LEVEL 1 Control solution LEVEL 2

D-glucose 0.10 % 0.35 %

Non-reactive components 99.90 % 99.65 %

Standards

The Beurer GL40 measuring system meets the following European directives and standards:
