PRIMA Owner's Manual
Introduction
Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro
diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by health
care professionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring
the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used
for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh
capillary and venous blood samples (from the finger, palm,
forearm, and upper arm). It should not be used for the diagnosis
of diabetes, or testing on newborns.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample;
home use is limited to capillary blood testing. Use only heparin
for anticoagulation of whole blood.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole
blood. The glucose testing is based on the measurement of
electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose with the
reagent of the strip. The meter measures the current, calculates
the blood glucose level, and displays the result. The strength of
the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount
of glucose in the blood sample.
