How Poc Glucospot Combi works

The test strip contains reagents that react with glucose in a small drop of blood. The glucometer measures the electrical/optical signal generated by this reaction and displays the blood glucose value.

How to take Poc Glucospot Combi

Use only with the compatible glucometer model specified on the pack/insert. Wash and dry hands, insert a new strip into the meter, use a new sterile lancet with the lancing device to obtain a drop of blood, apply blood to the strip, and read the result. Do not reuse lancets; discard strips/lancets safely. Follow the user manual for coding/calibration (if applicable).

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Safety advice for Poc Glucospot Combi

Warnings and precautions

For in-vitro diagnostic use only; not a medicine. Use strips before expiry and keep vial tightly closed; exposure to heat/humidity can give inaccurate readings. Do not share lancing device or lancets to avoid transmission of infections. Results can be affected by improper sampling, insufficient blood, contaminated hands (sugar), dehydration, high/low hematocrit, certain drugs (e.g., high-dose vitamin C) and severe illness—confirm unexpected readings and consult a clinician.

Interactions with other medicines

Certain substances may interfere with glucose strip readings depending on strip chemistry/meter (e.g., high-dose ascorbic acid/vitamin C, uric acid, acetaminophen, dopamine, maltose/galactose/xylose with specific GDH-PQQ systems). Check the product insert for known interferences for this specific strip.

How to store Poc Glucospot Combi

Store strips as per label, typically in original vial at 2–30°C, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Do not refrigerate or freeze unless specified. Keep vial tightly closed; use strip promptly after removing.
