G1 Advance Test Strip is a diagnostic consumable used with compatible glucometers for measuring blood glucose levels. It is part of a blood glucose monitoring system designed for regular self-monitoring by patients with diabetes or those at risk of abnormal blood sugar levels.
This test strip works by analyzing a small drop of capillary blood and providing a rapid glucose reading through an electrochemical reaction.

Type of Device
-
In-vitro diagnostic (IVD) test strip
-
Used with compatible glucometer device only
-
Single-use disposable strip
Mechanism of Action
The G1 Advance Test Strip works through an enzymatic reaction:
-
A small blood sample is applied to the strip
-
Glucose in the blood reacts with specific enzymes on the strip
-
This reaction generates an electrical signal
-
The glucometer converts this signal into a blood glucose reading
This allows quick and accurate monitoring of blood sugar levels.
Indications
G1 Advance Test Strip is used for:
-
Diabetes Mellitus
-
Routine blood glucose monitoring in diabetic patients
-
Monitoring response to insulin or oral antidiabetic medications
-
Screening for hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia episodes
-
Hospital or home-based glucose testing
How to Use
-
Insert the test strip into the compatible glucometer
-
Prick fingertip using a sterile lancet
-
Apply a small drop of blood to the designated area on the strip
-
Wait for a few seconds for the reading
-
Dispose of the strip after single use
