Test Principle
Finetest™ Lite blood glucose test strip is the bio-sensor which is composed of the
FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase(enzyme). FAD-GDH(enzyme) quantitatively
reacts with the glucose in the whole blood and the mediator. Glucose in the whole blood
sample reacts with the reagent of the test strip and generates an electrical current. The
amount of current, which is related with glucose concentration, is measured by the current,
for which the method is called amperometry.
NOTE:
1. Blood Glucose Monitoring System may also be called as Blood Glucose Test Meter,
the Meter, Test Meter throughout this manual, for which they have equal meaning to
each other.
2. Blood Glucose Test Strips may be referred to as Test Strip throughout this manual.
