Strip Expiry March 2017</br>2 No. vial containing 50 strips each, 1 coding chip</br>To be used with Accu-Chek Active machine only</br></br>Product Description</br></br>Features: *Blood volume: 1-2 μL *Measuring range: 10 mg/dL - 600 mg/dL *Sample types: Capillary blood. If the test strip is removed from the meter to apply blood: venous blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin or ammonium heparin or EDTA arterial blood and blood from neonates *Sample dosing: Blood application on to the middle of the test pad. The test strip (and its components) has the function to spread the blood above the test area - in a quick and hygienic way *Dosing options: Blood can be applied to both an already inserted test strip, and a tests trip outside the meter. This is helpful to minimize the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of AST, to facilitate blood application *Re-dosing capability: Additional blood can be added to the test strip within 10 seconds after applying the first drop (applies for inside mode) *Visual color check: Plausibility check option with 5 color block on the test strip vial *Hematocrit range: 20 - 55 % (within-meter mode) 20 - 70 % (outside-meter mode) *The test strips remain stable at least up to the expiry date printed on the test strip vial, even after opening (the test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed). How to use Accu-Chek Active Test Strips: *Ensure your hands are clean and dry *Take a test strip from the pot and close the lid immediately. The meter will turn on automatically after inserting the test strip into the test strip guide (in the direction of the arrows) *After a short display check and code number confirmation (corresponding with the code on the test strip pot), the test strip and flashing blood drop symbols will appear on the display. Apply a drop of blood to the green field on the test strip and remove your finger. The results will show after 5 seconds *The meter will turn off automatically by removing the test strip.
