Accu-Chek Doctor Blood Glucose Test Strips use Glucose Oxidase technology to track capillary blood sugar levels. You only need a tiny 1 µL sample to get a reading in about 5 seconds. These strips cover a wide 10-600 mg/dL range to help you catch dangerous spikes or drops.
Key Features
- Minimal Sample Volume: Requires 1 µL of capillary blood for a reading. Shallow lancet depths minimize skin trauma.
- Rapid Test Time: Provides a digital result in exactly 5 seconds. Quick feedback aids immediate dietary adjustments.
- Wide Detection Range: Measures glucose between 10 mg/dL and 600 mg/dL. Identifies severe hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia instantly.
- Hematocrit Tolerance: Operates within a 20% to 70% hematocrit range. Blood density doesn't compromise data accuracy.
- Thermal Storage: Maintains integrity between 2°C and 30°C temperature. High humidity ruins the strip's reactive enzymes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Accu-Chek Doctor strips compatible with Active?
No, these strips only fit the Accu-Chek Doctor meter. Different hardware coding and strip geometry prevent them from working with Active models.
What is the required blood sample size?
Each test requires a 1 µL droplet of capillary blood. This small volume allows for less painful testing on the fingertips.
