When a drop of blood is added to the sample application tip, the sample is drawn into the test strip reaction site. The glucose in the blood reacts with the enzyme on the test strip. This reaction produces a current, proportional to the amount of glucose in the blood. The meter detects the current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.

GlucoCard Vital test strips are easy to use and deliver clinically accurate results in just 7 second. GlucoCard Vital test strips are manufactured by Arkray one of the leading manufacturers of diabetic supplies.

The Arkray GlucoCard Vital blood glucose test strips are intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or palm. Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro Diagnostic Use). It is indicated for use at home (over the counter [OTC]) by persons with diabetes, or in clinical settings by healthcare professionals, as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for Diabetes Mellitus, and is not intended for use on neonates.

GLUCOCARD VITAL BLOOD GLUCOSE TEST STRIPS

The Arkray GlucoCard Vital test strips require only 0.5 µl of blood and provide an end-fill sample application tip for easy blood application. The GlucoCard Vital Blood glucose monitoring system measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood. When a drop of blood is added to the sample application tip, the sample is drawn into the test strip reaction site. The glucose in the blood reacts with the enzyme on the Arkray GlucoCard Vital test strip. This reaction produces a current, proportional to the amount of glucose in the blood. The meter detects the current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.

ALTERNATE SITE TESTING (AST) WITH GLUCOCARD VITAL TEST STRIPS

According to GlucoCard Vital User Manual you may use GlucoCard Vital test strips to test from sites other than your finger tips. This is called Alternate Site Testing (AST). These sites may have fewer nerve endings so obtaining a blood sample from these sites may be less painful. The technique for alternate site testing is different from fingertip testing. Blood glucose results from sites other than your fingertip could be significantly different due to blood glucose levels changing rapidly after a meal, insulin, or exercise.

Always consult with your diabetes healthcare professional prior to testing from a site other than your fingertips using the Arkray GlucoCard Vital test strips.

According to GlucoCard Vital User Manual, results obtained from sites other than the fingertip may differ significantly as is the case with all blood glucose monitoring systems. On average, blood taken from the palm may give results as much as 5% higher than blood taken from the fingertip.

Consider Alternate Site Testing with GlucoCard Vital Test Strips when:

Testing before a meal
You are in a fasting state
Two hours have passed since a meal
Two hours have passed since insulin dosing
Two hours have passed since physical activity
