GlucoRx HCT Blood Ketone Strips

About GlucoRx HCT Blood Ketone Strips

GlucoRx HCT Blood Ketone Strips are designed for the quantitative measurement of blood ketone (β-ketone) levels in fresh capillary whole blood. These strips are used with compatible GlucoRx HCT blood glucose and ketone meters to support diabetes management, particularly during periods of illness, insulin deficiency, or suspected ketosis.

GlucoRx HCT Blood Ketone Strips help identify elevated ketone levels, which may indicate a risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). They are intended for self-testing by people with diabetes and for professional use in clinical settings.

Each pack contains:

• GlucoRx HCT Blood Ketone Strips – 10 test strips

Understanding Your Ketone Results

Low ketone levels are normal. Elevated ketone readings may indicate ketosis and require medical advice, especially if accompanied by high blood glucose or symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or fatigue.

Warnings and Precautions

• For in vitro diagnostic use only.
• Use each test strip once only.
• Do not bend, cut, or reuse test strips.
• Results should be interpreted alongside blood glucose readings.
• Seek immediate medical advice if ketone levels are high.

Storage Instructions

• Store between 4°C and 30°C.
• Do not refrigerate or freeze.
• Keep the vial tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep out of sight and reach of children.
