The PCL Glucose Test Foil Strips are designed for the self-testing and monitoring of blood glucose levels by individuals with diabetes, for use exclusively with the PCL Care Blood Glucose Meter (models like AC-301). They come in individual foil packaging (as an alternative to the standard vial packaging) to protect each strip from humidity and ensure hygiene, providing accurate and fast results for effective diabetes management.
Key Features and Specifications
- Accuracy and Technology: The strips utilize advanced electrochemical enzyme technology and a nine-pin electrode design to ensure precise and reliable readings. They are clinically validated and ISO-certified for accuracy.
- Foil Packaging: Each strip is individually sealed in a foil pouch, which offers superior protection against environmental factors like humidity and light compared to a standard vial, maximizing the shelf life of each individual strip until it is ready for use.
- Ease of Use: The strips are designed for simplicity with a no-coding required feature, eliminating a common source of user error and simplifying the testing process.
- Minimal Blood Sample: They require only a very small (0.6 µL) capillary whole blood sample, which helps minimize discomfort during testing.
- Fast Results: The strips deliver blood glucose readings quickly, typically within just 5 seconds.
- Compatibility: The strips are only compatible with specific PCL Care blood glucose meters (e.g., AC-301).
- Measurement Range: They can measure blood glucose levels in a wide range, from 10 to 600 mg/dL.
Usage and Storage
- Storage: Unused foil-wrapped strips should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Usage Instructions: When ready to test, a user washes and dries their hands, inserts the strip into the PCL meter, pricks their finger with a lancing device to get a blood drop, and applies the sample to the strip’s reaction zone. The result appears on the meter’s screen.
- Single Use: Each test strip is for single, individual use only and must never be reused
