Test Principle:
- The OneTouch Verio® Family of Meters is plasma-calibrated for easy comparison of results with lab methods.
- Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals on the test strip to produce an electrical current.
- The strength of the current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
- The OneTouch Verio® Family of Meters measures the current, calculates your blood glucose level and shows your result.
Reagent Composition:
- Each test strip contains: flavin adenine dinucleotide dependent glucose dehydrogenase or FAD-GDH (from Aspergillus sp.) - 2 U; potassium ferricyanide 41 μg; and other ingredients (buffer, etc.). The vial contains a drying agent.
Performance Characteristics:
- See your system User Guide or Owner's Booklet.
