Indications

  • Blood Glucose Monitoring: ABRA test strips are used for self-monitoring blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. They provide quick and accurate measurements from a small drop of capillary blood.
Mechanism of Action
  • ABRA test strips are designed to work with compatible blood glucose meters. When a drop of blood is applied to the test strip, it reacts with the reagent to produce a small electrical current. The meter then translates this signal into a blood glucose reading.
Usage Instructions
  • Form: Single-use diagnostic strips
  • Use with: Compatible blood glucose meter (refer to packaging or product instructions)
  • Steps:
    • Insert the test strip into the meter.
    • Apply a small drop of blood to the designated area.
    • Wait for the reading to display on the meter.
  • Precautions:
    • Use only with compatible glucometers.
    • Store in a cool, dry place.
    • Do not use expired strips.
    • Keep out of reach of children.
    • Close the container tightly after each use to protect from humidity.
  • Storage and Handling
    • Keep strips in original container.
    • Avoid exposure to heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
    • Use within 90 days of opening the container.
User Considerations

Possible Issues:

  • Skin irritation: Rarely, individuals may experience mild skin irritation or discomfort at the site of blood sampling.
  • Incorrect Readings: May occur if:
    • Test strip is expired or improperly stored.
    • Hands are not clean/dry before testing.
    • Blood sample is insufficient or contaminated.
  • Device Incompatibility: Only use with meters approved for ABRA strips; mismatched devices may yield inaccurate results.
Contraindications
  • Not for use in neonatal or critically ill patients unless explicitly approved by a healthcare provider.
  • Do not use if you have a known allergy to any material in the test strip (rare).
  • Not suitable for ketone testing or non-capillary (e.g., venous/arterial) blood samples.

Information

Warnings and Precautions:

  • Use with Compatible Devices Only: Always use ABRA test strips with the blood glucose meters they are designed for. Using incompatible meters may lead to inaccurate results.
  • Storage Conditions: Exposure to moisture, heat, or direct sunlight can damage test strips and affect accuracy.
  • Blood Sample Quality: Ensure the sample site is clean and dry. Dirty, sweaty, or wet fingers can contaminate the sample and lead to false readings.
  • Do Not Share Devices: For infection control, test strips and meters should not be shared between individuals.
  • For External Use Only: Not intended for use with non-capillary (e.g., venous or arterial) blood unless otherwise stated.
  • Pregnancy and Lactation: Safe for use during pregnancy and lactation as a diagnostic tool, but always follow healthcare provider instructions for frequency and accuracy.
