Chemcard Glucose home test requires no instruments. The Chemcard Glucose test
is a simple, effective screening test which is used to identify abnormally high
fasting plasma glucose (blood sugar) levels which are often a warning sign of
diabetes.
Chemcard Glucose test is a 3 minute test which requires a single drop of blood
obtained from a fingerstick, requires no instruments, and was shown in clinical
trials to be 94 to 99.95 percent accurate in identifying normal and abnormal
fasting plasma glucose levels. Chemcard Glucose is FDA 510(k) approved for both
home use and in doctor's offices. Chemcard Glucose is not intended for use by
persons who are known to be diabetic, or who are pregnant.As recommended by
the ADA, Chemcard Glucose measures plasma glucose level after a minimum fasting
period of 8 hours. The test device is in the form of a card about the size of
a business card. A sterile disposable lancet is used to obtain a single drop
of blood which is placed onto the "Test Area". After three minutes,
the top layer of the card is peeled off and the results obtained by matching
the color of the test area with a sliding color chart. Upon matching colors,
the test card is turned over and the result appears on the back side of the
test card. Consistent with the ADA screening criteria, Chemcard results of 125
mg/dl (6.9 mmol/l) or higher are considered abnormally high, while of 100 mg/dl
(5.6 mmol/l) or less are considered normal. All abnormal results should be referred
to a physician for follow-up diagnosis.
