Description
Overview of the medicine
Sinocare Safe-AQ Test Strips are designed for use with Sinocare Safe-AQ series blood glucose meters to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples. They provide fast and reliable results for blood glucose monitoring by individuals with diabetes.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Use as needed for blood glucose monitoring, following physician's advice and product instructions.
Elderly
No specific usage adjustment for elderly; use as directed for blood glucose monitoring.
Renal_impairment
No specific usage adjustment for renal impairment; use as directed for blood glucose monitoring.
How to Take
Insert the test strip into the Sinocare Safe-AQ blood glucose meter. Prick a finger with a lancing device and apply a small drop of blood to the designated area of the test strip. The meter will display the result within seconds.
Mechanism of Action
The test strip contains an electrochemical biosensor system with glucose oxidase enzyme. When a blood sample is applied, glucose in the blood reacts with the enzyme, producing an electrical current. The meter detects this current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.
