Mutant variant of the glucose dehydrogenase quinone protein (Mut. Q-GDH 2, modified variant of EC 1.1.5.2), acinetobacter spec; photometric end-point measurement
Measuring time:
- Approximately 5 seconds (In-dosing: blood application with test strip within the meter)
- Approximately 8 seconds (Out-dosing: blood application with test strip outside the meter)
Measuring conditions:
Temperature: 8°C to 42°C
Test averages:
7, 14, 30 and 90 days
Data transfer:
Via USB interface (with Micro-USB cable)
Dimensions:
97.8 x 46.8 x 19.1 mm
Weight:
50g with battery
Battery:
1 Battery, 3V Type CR 2032
Altitude independence:
0 to 4,000 m (0 to 13,123 ft.)
Sample size:
1-2 µL
Measuring range:
10 - 600 mg/dL (0.6 – 33.3 mmol/L)
Sample types:
Capillary
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
Dosing options:
Blood can be applied to already inserted test strip (In-dosing), or a test strip outside the meter (Out-dosing). Out-dosing is helpful to minimize the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of alternative site testing, to facilitate blood application
Visual color check:
Plausibility check option with 5 color block on the test strip vial
Test strip stability:
Test strips remain stable up to expiry date printed on test strip vial, even after opening (test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed)
