How It Works
Accu-Chek Instant Strips employ sophisticated enzymatic technology that reacts with blood glucose. When blood contacts the strip, specialized enzymes trigger an electrochemical reaction, generating a precise electrical signal that the meter converts into an accurate glucose reading.
Duration of Action
Results display within 5 seconds of blood application. Strips remain active until expiration date when properly stored. Each strip provides a single-use, point-in-time measurement of blood glucose levels.
Dosage
Use as recommended by healthcare provider for blood glucose monitoring. Typical testing frequency ranges from 1-7 times daily, depending on individual treatment plans and medical needs. Each strip is for single use only.
Side Effects
No direct side effects from strip usage. Minor discomfort may occur from finger pricking. Proper lancing technique and site rotation minimize potential complications.
