ReliOn® micro Test Strips

These test strips need only 0.3 µL (microliter) of blood. Apply blood to the

sample application tip. The strip draws in the blood by capillary action.

The blood glucose reacts with the enzyme on the test strip. This produces

a current proportional to the blood glucose level. The meter detects the

current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.

Code No.
