Description
The GlucoRx Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a blood glucose meter for self-testing, used with GlucoRx test strips to measure glucose in a fingertip blood sample. It helps you and your healthcare professional keep track of your glucose levels.
Key Features
- Self-testing: The system is for in vitro diagnostic use, which means testing a blood sample outside the body.
- Fingertip blood sample: A lancing device and a sterile lancet are used to collect a small drop of blood from the fingertip.
- Matching test strips: GlucoRx meters work only with their own GlucoRx test strips, and other strips can give inaccurate results.
- Control solution check: A control solution test lets you check that the meter and strips are working properly.
Which test strips do I need?
Each GlucoRx meter uses its own matching GlucoRx test strips, so check the model name on your meter before buying strips. Using other strips can produce inaccurate results.
When should I do a control solution test?
Do a control solution test if you think the meter or test strips are not working properly, or if your result does not match how you feel. It is also worth doing if you have dropped the meter.
Can the meter diagnose diabetes?
No. Blood glucose meter readings are for monitoring and reference only. Always ask your doctor or healthcare professional to interpret your results.
Usage and Instructions
Follow the instructions supplied with your GlucoRx meter and test strips. Wash and dry your hands before testing, use a new sterile lancet each time, and apply the blood drop to the test strip only after it has been inserted into the meter.
Warnings
Read the meter's owner's manual and the test strip insert before use:
- Use only the GlucoRx test strips made for your meter.
- Never share the meter, lancets or lancing device, and use a new sterile lancet each time.
- Used lancets and test strips are potentially biohazardous, so dispose of them according to local regulations.
- Meter readings are for reference only. If your results are unusually high or low, or do not match how you feel, contact your healthcare professional.
- Keep the meter, test strips and lancets away from small children, as small parts are a choking hazard.
