Description
Overview of the medicine
Sinocare Safe AQ is a reliable and user-friendly blood glucose monitoring system designed for self-testing blood glucose levels at home. It provides quick and accurate results to help individuals with diabetes manage their condition effectively. The system typically includes a meter, test strips, lancing device, and lancets.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Use as needed to monitor blood glucose levels, typically multiple times a day as advised by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
Same as adults; ensure proper dexterity for lancing and strip handling. Assistance may be needed for some.
Renal_impairment
Not directly affected by renal impairment, but blood glucose targets may differ for patients with kidney disease. Consult a healthcare professional for specific guidance.
How to Take
Wash and dry hands. Insert a test strip into the meter. Use the lancing device to get a blood sample from a fingertip. Apply the blood sample to the designated area on the test strip. Wait for the meter to display the blood glucose reading. Record the result if necessary.
Mechanism of Action
The Sinocare Safe AQ system utilizes an electrochemical biosensor technology. A small blood sample applied to the test strip reacts with specific enzymes on the strip, generating an electrical current proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood. The meter then measures this current and displays the corresponding blood glucose level.
