Measuring principle
The
smartLAB
®
global W nG
Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose System
is designed to allow rapid measurement of blood glucose by using
an electrochemical biosensor technology. This system employs a
disposable dry reagent strip technology, based on the FAD-binding
glucose dehydrogenase.
Each test strip features an electrode containing FAD-binding glu-
cose dehydrogenase. A capillary blood sample is applied to the col-
lecting area of the strip, and is automatically drawn into the reac-
tion zone, where the FAD-binding glucose dehydrogenase catalyzes
the glucose dehydrogenation. It will produce gluconolactone.
During the reaction, a mediator transfers electrons to the electrode
surface and generates a current. The amount of the current is pro-
portional to the amount of glucose present in the blood sample.
After 5 seconds, the
smartLAB
®
global W nG
will show glucose con-
centration on the screen
Intended use
This blood glucose meter is a self-test IVD medical equipment and
intended for both home testing and for professional use to moni-
tor the blood glucose value from capillary whole blood and venous
whole blood. It is used outside the body only (In-vitro diagnostic
use). The meter should be used only with
smartLAB
®
nG
blood glu-
cose test strips.
