Product Information

These small disposable strips of plastic may look insignificant but they provide a very important role in helping people with diabetes to monitor and control their diabetes. For JAZZ meter users who register their meter, AgaMatrix offers additional services, such as a Freephone Customer Care Line and replacement batteries for the life of the meter. The unique WaveSense dynamic measuring technology also assures you of high accuracy testing by minimising the effects of many interfering factors in blood glucose monitoring. AgaMatrix focuses on research and development and works with a variety of partners to distribute our products. We have produced over 10 million devices and 4 billion test strips.

When blood is placed onto the test strip, it reacts with a chemical called glucose oxidase producing gluconic acid from the glucose in the blood. At the other end of the test strip, the meter transfers a current to the test strip. The test strip has electric terminals which allow the meter to measure the current between the terminals. For JAZZ Wireless meter users who register their meter , AgaMatrix offers additional services, such as a Freephone Customer Care Line and replacement batteries for the life of the meter. Some blood glucose test strips allow the reapplication of more blood to the same test strip if needed during the test. The amount of blood required by a test strip can vary between manufacturers. Generally, between 0.5 μl to 1 μl of blood is required. Within the UK, blood glucose test strips are available either free on prescription or can be bought from pharmacies or online.

Blood glucose test strips should meet specific International Organization for Standardization (ISO) accuracy standards when used with the meter they are designed for. For accuracy information about the WaveSense JAZZ Wireless Blood Glucose Meter, view the white paper below: The information below is generally applicable for most test strips, but refer to the information leaflet for specific advice on the test strips you use:It is less accurate than using a blood glucose meter but the test strips can often be cheaper. Where can I get test strips? Blood glucose test strips will usually have a use by date on the strips or box they come in. After opening, blood glucose test strips will typically be good to use for another 3 to 6 months but refer to the box or information leaflet for advice specific to your brand of test strips. The WaveSense JAZZ is no coding and has a fastest test time of 5 seconds with a tiny sample of blood. Simply insert the strip, apply the blood sample and read the result. In the vast majority of cases, each meter will take one type of test strip only. There are some blood glucose meters however that take blood ketone strips as well, to test for ketone levels. How do diabetes test strips work? Some Android phones may force you to pair through your phone’s Bluetooth settings. If this is the case, you will need to repeat the pairing process in the app following successful pairing through the Bluetooth settings. Open the AgaMatrix Diabetes Manager app. Go to ‘Menu’, select ‘Meters’, select ‘Add a new meter’ and follow the onscreen instructions.

In the UK, all people with type 1 diabetes, or otherwise on insulin, should qualify for test strips free on prescription. People with other types of diabetes, or on other treatments, may also be given test strips on prescription but this will be judged on an individual basis. Some test strips, not so commonly used these days, do not require a meter. When blood is placed on the active part of the strip and then wiped off after a specified number of seconds, the reagent will change colour and the result can be obtained by matching the colour of against a colour chart on the side of the pot. The current between the terminals changes depending on the level of gluconic acid that has been produced. The blood glucose meter then uses an algorithm to work out the blood glucose level based upon the difference in current.
