How Your Optium Xceed Diabetes Monitoring
System Works
When you insert a test strip into your meter, the Apply
Sample message shows on your meter’s display window.
When a blood sample or control solution sample is
applied to the test strip, the glucose or β-Ketone reacts
with the chemicals on the test strip. This reaction produces
a small electrical current that is measured. The result
shows on your meter’s display window.
