Accu-Check Active Suger Test 50 Strips

Accu-Check Active Suger Test 50 Strips

Description:

Accu-Check Active Suger Test 50 Strips are blood glucose test strips designed for use with the Accu-Check Active blood glucose monitoring system to support daily diabetes care and blood sugar control. These single-use diagnostic strips provide fast, accurate, and reliable capillary blood glucose readings, helping individuals with diabetes or at risk of diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels at home or on the go. Each pack contains 50 strips, suitable for regular self-monitoring, dose adjustment of insulin or oral antidiabetic medications, and ongoing diabetes management under medical supervision. The strips require only a small blood sample and are engineered to deliver results within seconds, making them convenient for routine testing and emergency checks.

Indications:

• Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2).
• Monitoring blood sugar levels in individuals at risk of developing diabetes, as advised by a healthcare professional.
• Assisting in dose adjustment of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents based on blood glucose readings.
• Monitoring for hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, sweating, shakiness, or confusion.
• Routine home blood glucose testing as part of a comprehensive diabetes care plan.
• Point-of-care blood glucose testing in clinics or healthcare settings using compatible Accu-Check Active meters.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Blood glucose test strips – 50 strips per pack (single-use diagnostic strips).
• Key functional components typically include an enzyme-based reagent layer (such as glucose oxidase or glucose dehydrogenase) and an electrochemical detection system integrated into the strip. Exact enzyme type and concentrations are not specified by the manufacturer in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).
• Compatible exclusively with Accu-Check Active blood glucose monitoring devices (meter not included).
• Small sample volume requirement (exact microliter volume not specified in the available data).
• Fast reading time (exact seconds not specified in the available data).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only with an Accu-Check Active blood glucose meter and follow the meter’s user manual.
• Testing frequency ("dosage") should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your diabetes treatment plan (for example: fasting, before meals, 2 hours after meals, at bedtime, or as needed).
• Step-by-step usage instructions:
  • 1. Wash and dry hands thoroughly with soap and water before testing.
  • 2. Open the vial, remove one Accu-Check Active Suger Test strip, and immediately close the vial tightly to protect remaining strips from moisture and air.
  • 3. Insert the test strip into the meter’s strip slot with the contact bars facing upward, as indicated by the meter instructions.
  • 4. Wait for the meter to turn on automatically and display the flashing blood drop symbol.
  • 5. Use a sterile lancet in a lancing device to gently prick the side of your fingertip (or other approved site, if recommended by your healthcare provider).
  • 6. Allow a small drop of blood to form. Do not squeeze excessively.
  • 7. Gently touch the blood drop to the front edge of the test area on the strip. The strip will draw in the blood sample by capillary action.
  • 8. Hold in place until the meter confirms that enough blood has been applied (usually by a beep or visual signal).
  • 9. Wait a few seconds for the result to appear on the meter display.
  • 10. Record or review your result according to your diabetes management plan.
  • 11. Remove and safely discard the used strip in an appropriate waste container.
  • 12. Remove the lancet from the lancing device and dispose of it in a sharps container as per local regulations.
• Do not reuse test strips. Each strip is for single use only.
• Do not use strips past the expiry date printed on the packaging.
• Always compare the code (if applicable) on the strip vial with the meter settings, or follow the meter’s coding instructions (for meters that require manual coding).

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps in accurate and timely monitoring of blood glucose levels for effective diabetes management.
• Supports adjustment of insulin and oral antidiabetic medication doses based on real-time blood sugar readings.
• Assists in early detection of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, helping to prevent acute complications.
• Enables patients to track trends and patterns in blood glucose (fasting, pre-meal, post-meal), improving long-term glycemic control.
• Convenient at-home testing reduces the need for frequent clinic visits for routine blood glucose checks.
• Small blood sample requirement and quick results improve comfort and adherence to regular monitoring.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For in vitro diagnostic use only (external use on blood samples). Do not ingest or apply to skin or eyes.
• Use only with compatible Accu-Check Active blood glucose meters. Using with non-compatible devices may lead to inaccurate readings.
• Do not use test strips after the expiry date or if the vial has been left open or damaged, as this may cause false high or low results.
• Do not store strips outside their original vial or transfer them to another container.
• Improper storage (exposure to heat, humidity, or direct sunlight) can affect strip performance and accuracy.
• Results can be affected by severe dehydration, shock, hypotension, or very high triglyceride levels; consult your doctor if readings do not match your symptoms.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or if you have any serious medical conditions, including severe anemia or other blood disorders that may affect glucose readings.
• Not intended to independently diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; readings must be interpreted by a healthcare professional within the context of a full clinical assessment.
• Keep out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion of strips or lancets and to prevent injury from sharp objects.

Side Effects:

• Local skin reactions at the lancing site such as mild pain, redness, or tenderness.
• Bruising or minor bleeding at the puncture site, especially in individuals with fragile skin or on anticoagulant therapy.
• Risk of infection at the lancing site if proper hygiene and sterile technique are not followed.
• Psychological discomfort or anxiety related to frequent finger pricking and blood testing.
• Potential consequences of inaccurate readings (false high or low) if strips are expired, damaged, improperly stored, or used incorrectly; this may lead to inappropriate treatment decisions. Seek medical advice if results are inconsistent with symptoms.

Storage Instructions:

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Keep the vial tightly closed immediately after removing a strip. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Do not store in the bathroom or near sinks. Keep out of reach of children.
