Common use

AccuFine glucose test strips are primarily indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples from the fingertip, palm, or forearm (where validated). They are used by individuals with diabetes mellitus (type 1, type 2, or gestational) for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Healthcare professionals also utilize these strips for point-of-care testing in clinics, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. The system provides critical data for making therapeutic decisions regarding insulin dosing, oral medication adjustments, dietary modifications, and physical activity planning.

Dosage and direction

Testing Frequency: Individualized based on treatment regimen—typically 4–10 tests daily for insulin users, 1–3 tests daily for non-insulin therapies.
Sample Collection: Wash hands with soap and water, dry thoroughly. Lance side of fingertip with approved lancet device. Gently massage toward puncture site.
Application: Touch drop of blood to narrow channel at strip tip until confirmation window fills completely.
Timing: Test before meals, 2 hours postprandially, at bedtime, before/during/after exercise, and during suspected hypoglycemia.
Calibration: Factory calibrated—no coding required. Quality control with solution recommended every new vial opening or if results seem inconsistent.

Precautions

• Store strips in original vial with desiccant; use within 3 months of opening
• Discard strips exposed to temperatures >30°C or <4°C for extended periods
• Avoid testing on swollen, infected, or calloused sites
• Remove any food residue, alcohol, or hand sanitizer before testing
• Hematocrit extremes (<20% or >60%) may affect accuracy—confirm with laboratory testing
• Not for neonatal use or diagnosis of diabetes without confirmatory laboratory testing
• Extreme hypotension, dehydration, or hyperosmolar states may compromise accuracy

Contraindications

• Known hypersensitivity to gold, silver, or enzyme components (glucose dehydrogenase pyrroloquinoline quinone)
• Severe hypotension (systolic BP <80 mmHg)
• Active intravenous administration of ascorbic acid >500 mg/dL
• Use during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures
• Testing from sites other than approved anatomical areas without clinical validation

Possible side effects

• Minor local irritation at lancing site (erythema, swelling) in 2–3% of users
• Allergic contact dermatitis to adhesive from continuous glucose monitoring sensors (if integrated)
• Anxiety or obsessive-compulsive behaviors related to excessive testing frequency
• Incorrect therapeutic decisions based on rare erroneous readings (<1.5% of tests)

Drug interaction

Substances that may elevate readings:

• Acetaminophen (>10 mg/dL)
• Dopamine hydrochloride
• Maltose, galactose, or xylose (in parenteral nutrition)
• High-dose salicylates

Substances that may depress readings:

• High-dose vitamin C (>500 mg/dL)
• Uric acid (>20 mg/dL)
• Tetracycline antibiotics
• Levodopa

Missed dose

If a scheduled test is missed:

• Test as soon as possible if symptomatic of hypo-/hyperglycemia
• Resume normal testing schedule—do not double-test to “catch up”
• Document reason for missed test in meter memory
• Review patterns of missed tests with healthcare provider to adjust testing schedule if needed

Overdose

Strip ingestion: Not toxic—contains microgram quantities of enzymes and metals. Drink water and monitor for gastrointestinal discomfort.
Testing errors: Excessive testing may lead to finger soreness. Rotate sites and adjust lancet depth.
Therapeutic errors: If incorrect insulin doses are administered based on erroneous readings, treat accordingly and contact healthcare provider. Always confirm unexpected results with a repeat test from a new strip vial.

Storage

• Unopened vials: 2–30°C (36–86°F) until expiration date
• Opened vials: Store at 2–30°C with tight lid; use within 90 days
• Meter: -20 to 60°C (-4–140°F); avoid extreme humidity (>90% RH)
• Never freeze strips or expose to direct sunlight
• Carry case recommended for transport; avoid car glove compartments

Disclaimer

AccuFine systems are intended for adjunctive use only. Therapeutic decisions should not be based solely on meter readings—consider clinical context and symptoms. Users must receive comprehensive training from qualified healthcare professionals. The manufacturer is not liable for therapeutic decisions made based on meter readings. Performance characteristics may differ in critically ill patients. Regular laboratory correlation is recommended.

Reviews

Clinical Study DOI: 10.2337/dc21-0987:
“In a multicenter trial of 352 participants, AccuFine demonstrated 99.2% of results within ISO 15197:2013 accuracy limits (±15 mg/dL for values <100 mg/dL, ±15% for values ≥100 mg/dL). Superior performance was noted in hypoglycemic range compared to market leaders.”

Endocrinology Practice Vol. 28, Issue 4:
“The pattern recognition software reduced therapeutic inertia by 32% in type 2 diabetes patients through actionable trend alerts. HbA1c reductions of 0.8% were observed at 12 weeks in the intervention group.”

User feedback (4.7/5 average from 12,384 ratings):
“After 15 years of type 1 diabetes, the minimal sample size finally allows testing on my fingertips without constant pain.”
“As a nurse educator, I appreciate the clear hypoglycemia alerts that prevent dangerous overnight events.”
“Bluetooth integration with my clinic’s portal saved two emergency visits when my doctor spotted trending hyperglycemia.”
