More Details on This Product
The Medisign MS-2 Blood Glucose Test Strips are vital consumables for maintaining accurate and timely control over blood sugar levels. When paired with the specific Medisign MS-2 meter, these strips offer a reliable and efficient way for patients across Africa and Tanzania to perform daily self-monitoring, which is crucial for preventing diabetes complications.
Available Models/Sizes/Variations
This product is sold as a vial containing 25 test strips. For high-frequency testing, larger quantity packs may be available, but this specific offering ensures fresh supply and minimizes the risk of strips expiring after opening.
Main Intended Uses (with localized benefits)
These strips are intended for Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) for diabetes management. Localized benefits include:
- Enabling patients to react immediately to high (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar readings.
- Providing accurate data points for healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding diet, exercise, and insulin adjustments.
- Supporting home health and chronic disease management, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.
Operating Instructions (Itemized with setup/operation/maintenance)
- Setup: Wash hands thoroughly. Insert a new strip fully into the Medisign MS-2 meter. The meter should power on and display a code or icon indicating readiness.
- Operation: Using a lancing device (not included), obtain a tiny blood sample (usually < 1 µL) from the fingertip.
- Testing: Gently touch the tip of the strip to the blood drop. The strip will draw the blood in automatically. The result will appear on the meter display within 5-10 seconds.
- Maintenance: Discard the used strip and lancet immediately into a sharps container. Do not reuse strips.
Potential Risks/Adverse Events
The main risk is receiving an inaccurate reading, which could lead to incorrect medical decisions (e.g., taking too much or too little insulin). This is usually caused by using expired, improperly stored, or damaged strips.
Interactions/Compatibility
CRITICAL WARNING: These strips are ONLY compatible with the Medisign MS-2 blood glucose meter. Using them with any other meter brand or model will yield an error or an inaccurate reading, which could be life-threatening.
Warnings/Precautions
- Storage: Always store the strips in their original vial with the cap tightly sealed to protect them from air and moisture. Never transfer strips to a different container.
- Expiry: Check the expiry date printed on the box and vial. Additionally, strips should be used within 90 days after first opening the vial, even if the printed expiry date is later.
Quick Device Facts Table
| Device Type | **Test Strip Consumable** |
| Intended Use | Blood Glucose Measurement |
| Compatibility | **ONLY Medisign MS-2 Meter** |
| Technology | Enzymatic Electrochemical (Glucose Oxidase) |
| Sample Volume | Ultra-small (e.g., 0.5 – 1.0 µL) |
| Critical Warning | **Discard 90 days after opening.** |
Mechanism of Operation
The Medisign MS-2 strips function using the Enzymatic Electrochemical Method. The tip of the strip contains an enzyme, typically Glucose Oxidase (GOD). When a blood sample is applied, the GOD enzyme rapidly oxidizes the glucose present in the blood. This chemical reaction releases electrons, generating a tiny, measurable electrical current. The Medisign MS-2 meter measures the magnitude of this current and converts it into the final blood glucose value, displayed in units like mmol/L or mg/dL.
