Wellion GALILEO blood glucose test strips

Your blood sugar reading in seconds from just a single drop of blood

Wellion GALILEO blood glucose test strips are used with Wellion GALILEO blood glucose meters to measure blood glucose levels in fresh capillary whole blood from the fingertip.

The test strips are suitable for self-testing at home and for use by trained healthcare professionals.

Handling

1. Take a Wellion GALILEO blood glucose test strip from the test strip container and close it immediately. Insert the test strip to turn on the meter. The display shows the “Glu” symbol, the flashing blood drop symbol, and the test strip symbol.
2. Press the lancing device (with a fresh lancet) laterally against your fingertip and press the release button to prick and obtain the blood drop.
3. Now hold the tip of the test strip at a slight angle into the blood sample. The test strip sucks the blood like a straw. The meter beeps to let you know when there is enough blood for the test. The display shows the countdown, and after 5 seconds the result is shown on the display.

Useful tips

• Do not use expired test strips. Check the expiration date printed on the test strip container and package.
• Close the test strip container IMMEDIATELY after removing a test strip to protect the remaining test strips from humidity.
• Use test strips immediately after removing them from the container.
• Do not use wet or damaged test strips.
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Store the test strips in a dry, cool environment (not in the bathroom).
• Write the date of first opening on the label of the test strip container. Dispose of any remaining test strips 6 months after first opening.
• Dispose of the used test strip and the used lancet immediately after measurement.

Wellion blood glucose test strips contain glucose oxidase in the reaction zone, an enzyme that reacts specifically with glucose. This reaction generates an electric current, which is converted by the meter into the corresponding blood glucose reading and displayed on the screen.
