36 Beurer GL50 mg/dL

Only a small amount of blood is required (0.6 microlitres) and measurement takes approx. ﬁve sec-

onds. The test strip detects blood glucose values from 20 to 630 mg/dL.

Chemical components of the test strip sensor

•

FAD glucose dehydrogenase 6%

•

Potassium ferricyanide 56%

•

Non-reactive components 38%

Control solution functionality

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

control solution is similar to a blood test. However, control solution is used instead of blood. The

measured result using control solution must be within the result range. This range is printed on each

test strip box.

Chemical composition of the control solution

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

Ingredients Control solution LEVEL 3 Control solution LEVEL 4

D-glucose 0.14% 0.37%

Non-reactive components 99.86% 99.63%

Standards

The Beurer GL50 blood glucose monitor complies with the European standards: IVD (98/79/EC) and

MDD (93/42/EC).

Comparison of measured values with laboratory values

Performance characteristics: accuracy and precision

Whole blood glucose test results were compared with the YSI 2300 laboratory device. At a concen-

tration of < 75 mg/dL ≥ 98% were at +/-15 mg/dL, while at a glucose concentration of ≥ 75 mg/dL

≥ 98% were within 20% of the reference values. The CV (coecient of variation) is < 5%. The blood

glucose monitor is therefore comparable to a laboratory system.

You will ﬁnd further details and information regarding blood glucose results and various technologies

in general medical literature on the subject.
