Accu-Check Instant Suger Test 50 Strips

Accu-Check Instant Suger Test 50 Strips

Description:

Accu-Check Instant Suger Test 50 Strips are blood glucose test strips designed for use with the Accu-Chek Instant blood glucose monitoring system. They are a medical diagnostic aid used for self-monitoring of blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes. Each pack contains 50 single-use test strips that deliver fast, accurate, and reliable blood glucose readings using a very small blood sample. These strips support daily diabetes management at home or on the go, helping patients and caregivers make informed decisions about diet, exercise, and medication adjustments. Accu-Check Instant Suger Test 50 Strips are suitable for adults and children as advised by a healthcare professional and are intended for capillary whole blood testing only.

Indications:

• Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2).
• Monitoring blood sugar in individuals with gestational diabetes as directed by a healthcare provider.
• Assessing the effectiveness of diabetes treatment plans, including insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents.
• Early detection of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
• Regular tracking of blood glucose trends over time to support long-term diabetes control.
• Home, clinic, or travel use for convenient and quick blood glucose testing.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• 50 single-use blood glucose test strips (enzyme-based electrochemical sensor system).
• Each strip contains an enzyme reagent system (typically glucose dehydrogenase or similar) that reacts with glucose in capillary whole blood to generate an electrical signal measured by the meter. 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 the Accu-Chek Instant blood glucose monitoring system (meter not included).
• Small sample volume requirement (exact microliter volume not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).
• No manual coding required – automatic recognition by the Accu-Chek Instant meter.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only with the Accu-Chek Instant blood glucose meter and follow your healthcare provider’s recommended testing schedule (e.g., fasting, before meals, 2 hours after meals, at bedtime, or as advised).
• Step-by-step usage instructions:
  • 1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly with soap and water before testing.
  • 2. Remove one test strip from the vial and immediately close the vial tightly to protect the remaining strips from moisture and air.
  • 3. Insert the test strip into the meter’s test strip port with the contact bars facing up, as indicated by the meter’s instructions.
  • 4. The meter will turn on automatically and display a flashing blood drop symbol when it is ready for a sample.
  • 5. Use a sterile lancet and lancing device to prick the side of your fingertip (or alternative site if recommended by your healthcare provider and the meter’s instructions).
  • 6. Gently squeeze your finger to obtain a small drop of blood.
  • 7. Touch the blood drop to the front edge of the yellow test area on the strip; the strip will draw in the blood by capillary action. Do not apply blood to the top of the strip.
  • 8. Wait while the meter counts down (a few seconds). Do not remove the strip during measurement.
  • 9. Read your blood glucose result on the meter display.
  • 10. Safely remove and discard the used strip and lancet in a suitable sharps or biohazard container.
  • 11. Record your result in a logbook, app, or meter memory to track trends over time.
• Use a new, sterile test strip for every measurement. Never reuse strips.
• Do not use strips after the expiry date or more than the recommended period after first opening the vial (refer to product packaging for exact duration; not specified in available information).
• Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding frequency of testing and target glucose ranges.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides quick, accurate blood glucose readings to support day-to-day diabetes self-management.
• Helps detect episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia early, allowing timely corrective action.
• Supports adjustment of insulin doses, oral diabetes medications, and lifestyle measures based on real-time glucose data.
• Enables patients and caregivers to track blood sugar trends over days, weeks, and months for better long-term glycemic control.
• Small blood sample requirement and fast results improve comfort and adherence to regular testing.
• Compatible with Accu-Chek Instant meters that feature easy-to-read displays, making it suitable for home use, including for older adults.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For in vitro diagnostic use only. Do not ingest or place strips in the mouth.
• Use only with Accu-Chek Instant blood glucose monitoring systems; using with other meters may result in inaccurate readings.
• Do not use test strips if the vial is damaged, left open, or if strips appear discolored, bent, or contaminated.
• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging, as this may lead to unreliable results.
• Improper storage (exposure to heat, humidity, or direct sunlight) can affect strip performance and accuracy.
• False high or low readings may occur if hands are not washed and dried properly, if there is too little blood, or if testing is performed incorrectly.
• Consult your doctor before making any changes to your diabetes medication, insulin dose, or diet based solely on home readings.
• Patients with severe dehydration, shock, hypotension, or hyperosmolar states may obtain inaccurate results; hospital laboratory testing may be required.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have any serious medical conditions affecting blood circulation or hematocrit, as these can influence readings.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.

Side Effects:

• The test strips themselves do not typically cause systemic side effects, as they are for external diagnostic use only.
• Local reactions at the finger-prick site may include mild pain, redness, bruising, or slight bleeding.
• Rarely, skin irritation or allergic-type reactions can occur at the lancing site.
• Improper hygiene or reuse of lancets may lead to local infection at the puncture site (redness, swelling, warmth, pus). Seek medical attention if signs of infection appear.
• Incorrect technique or expired/damaged strips may cause false high or low readings, which can lead to inappropriate treatment decisions. If results do not match your symptoms, repeat the test with a new strip and consult your healthcare provider.

Storage Instructions:

Store Accu-Check Instant Suger Test 50 Strips in their original, tightly closed vial in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep the vial tightly closed immediately after removing a strip to protect the remaining strips from humidity. Do not transfer strips to another container. Keep out of reach of children.
