Principle of Measurement
Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current that is produced when a blood sample mixes with the reagent of the test strip. The electrical current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The FASTLAB meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your blood glucose level, and then displays your result in either milligram of glucose per deciliter (mg/dl) or millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L) According to your settings which you made.
Know Your System
The FASTLAB system uses the latest technology to provide you with easy and comfortable testing. The system requires only a 0.7ul of blood sample to complete the testing in only 6 seconds.
The system consist of TWO,
1. FASTLAB Blood Glucose Meter.
2. FASTLAB Blood Glucose Rapid Test Strip.
Important You Need To Know
Following are the some points you must know about.
1. Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying other substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.
2. Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. Of you believe you are differing from severe dehydration, consult your health care professional. Immediately.
3. Test results below 60 mg/dl (3.3 mmol/L) indicates low blood glucose. Test results greater than 240 mg/dl (13.3mmol/L) indicates high blood glucose. If your results are below 60 mg/dl or above 240 mg/dl, repeat the test, and if the results are still below or above consult your healthcare professional.
4. Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. In accurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
5. Abnormal red blood cell counts may cause false results.
