Application
- The use of the test strips is quite easy.
- You only need to insert the Accutrend® Glucose, Accutrend® Cholesterol, Accutrend® Triglycerides or Accutrend® Lactate test strips.
Composition of strips
The cholesterol test strips contain:
- A yellow protective net, impregnated with a surfactant (field of application);
- A fiberglass coating that acts as a separation layer for the blood cells;
- A reaction film in which colour is formed;
- A bar code on the back that is read by the meter to confirm the identity of the test strip, i.e. whether the batch number of the test strip matches the code in memory.
Control
The system automatically performs a pre-run check by reading the bar code on the test strip and comparing the data in memory with the strip code. In addition, Accutrend® Control CH1 (cholesterol), Accutrend® Control G (glucose) and Accutrend® Control TG1 (triglycerides) control solutions can be used for function checks.
