Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use)
by the pet owner at home and by veterinarian professionals in clinical
settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control in
cats and dogs. It is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement
of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples. It should not be used for
the diagnosis of diabetes.
Veterinary professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample.
Test Principle
This system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood.
The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current
generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The
meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, and
displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the reaction
depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
