DR Morepen Glucometer

The Dr. Morepen Glucometer (specifically the popular BG-03 Gluco One model) is a medical device designed for at-home self-monitoring of blood glucose levels. It is a key tool for people with diabetes to manage their condition effectively.

 

Key Features and Specifications

 

• Purpose: Used for the quantitative measurement of glucose concentration in whole blood.

• Technology: Utilizes Biosensor Technology, which reacts to the glucose in a blood sample to produce a measurable electrical current.

• Auto-Coding: The monitor is auto-coding, meaning it automatically calibrates itself to the test strip, eliminating a manual step that can sometimes lead to errors.

• Small Blood Sample: Requires a very small blood sample, typically around 0.5 μL (microliter), which makes the process less painful.

• Fast Results: Provides quick and accurate results, usually within 5 seconds.

• Memory: The device can store a large number of test results, often up to 300, with the date and time, allowing users to track their glucose levels over time.

• Measuring Range: The typical measuring range is from 20 to 600 mg/dL.

• Display: Features a large display screen for easy reading of the test results.

• Portability: It is a compact and lightweight device, making it easy to carry for on-the-go testing.

• Kit Contents: A standard kit usually includes the glucometer, a lancing device, a set of lancets, test strips, and a carrying case.

 

How it Works

 

The process of using the Dr. Morepen Glucometer is designed to be simple and user-friendly:

1. Insert Test Strip: Insert a new test strip into the designated slot on the glucometer.

2. Blood Sample: Use the lancing device to get a small drop of blood from a fingertip.

3. Apply Blood: Touch the tip of the test strip to the blood drop. The strip will automatically draw in the required amount of blood.

4. Wait for Results: The monitor will begin a countdown, and the blood glucose level will be displayed on the screen in about 5 seconds.

 

Important Considerations

 

• Test Strips: The glucometer requires specific Dr. Morepen test strips, which are sold separately and must be within their expiry date to ensure accurate results.

• Single-Use: The test strips and lancets are for single-use only and should not be reused to avoid contamination and inaccurate readings.

• Consult a Doctor: While a glucometer is an excellent tool for self-monitoring, all test results should be discussed with a healthcare professional as an aid in managing diabetes. The information from the glucometer is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
