The Blood Ketone Test Strip is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). It is used for quantitatively measuring ketone in human capillary blood or venous whole blood. This product is suitable for monitoring the levels of ketone by professional person.

PRINCIPLE

Ketones are produced by liver cells and are products of lipolysis. Because ketones are acidic substances, when ketones are produced in excess of the amount used and excreted in the urine, ketones accumulate in the blood, causing diabetic ketoacidosis Blood Ketone Test Strip is used with the analyzer to measure ketone levels in whole blood. When the tip of the Blood Ketone Test Strip is touched to a drop of capillary whole blood in your finger, the test strip draws the blood into the reaction chamber. Measuring time is about 5 seconds and only about 1μL blood is needed. On the analyzer the test result of your blood ketone level will be displayed.
