Beurer GL44 lean
During the reaction, a mediator transports electrons through the electrode surface and so generates
a current.
The monitor analyses this current. The current flow is proportional to the glucose content in the blood
sample. The results are shown on the blood glucose monitor display. Only a small amount of blood
is required (0.6 microlitres) and the duration of measurement is approx. five seconds. The test strips
detect blood glucose values from 20 to 630
mg/dL (1.1 to 35.0
mmol/L).
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
measurement using control solution must be within the result range. This value range is printed on
every test strip box and/or on the information sheet included with the test strips in film packaging.
Chemical composition of the control solution
The control solution is a red solution with the following D-glucose level (in percentage shares).
Substances
LEVEL 3 control solution
LEVEL 4 control solution
D-glucose
0.14%
0.37%
Non-reactive components

Standards
The Beurer GL44 lean monitoring system corresponds to the European Directives IVD (98/79/EC)
and MDD (93/42/EC).
