FREESTYLE Lite test strips without coding, 100 pieces

Area of application

Freestyle Lite test strips without coding (pack size: 100 pieces) are specially designed to measure blood sugar levels quickly and safely.These test strips are intended for use with FreeStyle Lite, FreeStyle Freedom Lite, FreeStyle InsuLinx and FreeStyle Navigator II blood glucose monitoring systems.They enable the quantitative measurement of glucose in capillary whole blood samples from various parts of the body such as the finger, hand, forearm and upper arm as well as lower and thigh.No prescription is required for this product.

Mode of action

As a diabetic, it is important to check your blood sugar several times a day.The Freestyle Lite test strips without coding help you determine the values particularly precisely.These test strips only require a small amount of blood, namely 0.3 µl.If the drop of blood is not enough, you can add more drops within 60 seconds.This makes frequent measurements easier and saves test strips.The blood is quickly absorbed into the test strips, making it easier to use.

Dosage

The Freestyle Lite test strips without coding can be used several times a day for blood sugar measurements.They are compatible with the FreeStyle Lite measuring device.Please see the enclosed application instructions for detailed instructions.

Product information

Freestyle Lite Blood Glucose Test Strips are intended for use with FreeStyle Lite Blood Glucose Meters for the quantitative measurement of glucose in capillary whole blood samples.They are used for measurement outside the body for self-testing or for use by healthcare professionals.These test strips are suitable for self-use at home and for use in medical facilities.They are not intended for diagnosing diabetes mellitus disease, screening for diabetes mellitus, newborn blood samples or arterial blood samples.

Chemical composition

The test strips contain FAD glucose dehydrogenase (Aspergillus Oryzae) in a concentration of more than 1.0 units and other ingredients such as buffer and mediator in a concentration of more than 0.01 mg.

Intended use

Freestyle Lite Blood Glucose Test Strips are designed to quantitatively measure glucose in capillary whole blood samples from various body sites.They are used for measurement outside the body for self-testing or for use by healthcare professionals.These test strips are suitable for self-use at home and for use in medical facilities.

Storage and handling

Store the test strips at room temperature (4°C to 30°C; 40°F to 86°F) and use them only within the system's operating temperature range.Close the container tightly with the cap again as soon as you have removed a test strip.Only store the test strips in the original container as this contains desiccant to protect the test strips.Do not use the test strips after the expiration date printed on the package or expose them to extreme temperatures.

Test method

When the blood sample is applied to the test strip, the glucose in the blood reacts with the chemicals on the test strip, producing a weak electrical current.The measuring device measures the current over time, calculates the electrical charge and converts this into a blood sugar value.For step-by-step instructions on how to perform the test, see the user manual for your blood glucose meter.

Limitations

The Freestyle Lite Blood Glucose Test Strips provide accurate results with the following limitations: They are for single use only and should not be reused.Use fresh, capillary whole blood from the site selected for testing and clean the site with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before testing.Altitudes up to 3048 meters above sea level have no effect on the test results.The hematocrit range should be between 15% and 65.

Checking the system

The control solution is used to check the functionality of the measuring device and test strips as well as your test method.If the control solution test result is within the range indicated on the test strip container, the system is operating correctly.If the test result is outside this range, repeat the test.Out-of-range results may indicate improper test performance, expired or contaminated control solution, faulty test strips, or meter malfunction.

Performance characteristics and accuracy

The performance of these test strips has been tested in both laboratory tests and clinical studies.The test range is 20 mg/dL to 500 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L to 27.8 mmol/L).The Freestyle Lite test strip is calibrated to display a plasma equivalent blood glucose value for easy comparison with laboratory values.The blood glucose measurement results obtained with capillary blood were compared with the results obtained in the YSI blood glucose analyzer.
