Glucose test strips are used with the Element glucometer or the Element Multi analyzer to determine the level of glucose in human whole blood both at home for self-monitoring and for professional use in a wide variety of medical institutions.
Nowadays, knowing the glucose level in one's own blood can be considered something comparable to observing the rules of personal hygiene. The reason for this is the rapid increase in the number of people living with diabetes worldwide. The increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus has been widely known for a long time. This violation of carbohydrate metabolism is being detected more and more often, and in people of all ages – from children to the elderly. Often, the disease develops suddenly, without any apparent reason, with a rapid increase in clinical symptoms and complaints, but in most cases, it proceeds almost asymptomatically, for many years of life, during which serious complications form. In most cases, diabetes mellitus is diagnosed for the first time already when its complications have developed. Therefore, blood sugar control is necessary not only for those who have already been diagnosed with diabetes, but also for people with a predisposition to the development of this disease: overweight, age after 40 years, if there are relatives with diabetes, age after 40 years. This is necessary for the earliest possible detection of this disease, as well as the prevention of the development of its complications.
The Element test strips use an innovative sensor technology based on an electrochemical method to determine blood glucose levels.
With the help of test strips, it is possible to measure the level of glucose in human blood in the range from 0.6 to 33.3 mmol/l. This is quite enough for both home self-monitoring and professional laboratory medical research.
IT is IMPORTANT that the test strips for determining the amount of glucose in the blood element (Element) can be used with both the Element glucose meter and the Element Multi analyzer.
Another positive feature of the glucose test strips Element is to increase their shelf life after opening the bottle - up to 6 months.
Glucose test strips should be stored at a temperature of 2 - 30 ° C, avoid freezing and/or direct sunlight on them.
