Information for Professional Caregivers
Healthcare Professionals: Follow the infection control procedures appropriate for your
facility.
The Accu-Chek Advantage Meter is suitable for continuous operation. It is not protected against the
ingress of water, nor is it suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with air,
oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
Measuring Principle
The glucose dehydrogenase converts the glucose in a blood sample to gluconolactone. This reaction
liberates an electron that reacts with a coenzyme electron acceptor, the oxidized form of the mediator
hexacyanoferrate (III), forming the reduced form of the mediator, hexacyanoferrate (II). The test strip employs
the electromechanical principle of biamperometry. The meter applies a voltage between two identical
electrodes, which causes the reduced mediator formed during the incubation period to be reconverted to an
oxidized mediator. This generates a small current that is read by the meter.
