The handy Wellion LUNA blood glucose test strips are used with the Wellion LUNA meter to measure the blood glucose level in fresh capillary whole blood. The Wellion LUNA measuring devices are perfectly suited for measuring at home as well as for use by professionals.
Handling:
Take a Wellion LUNA blood glucose test strip from the test strip container and close it again immediately. Insert the test strip into the meter to turn it on. On the display you will see the “Gluc” symbol, the flashing blood drop symbol and the test strip symbol.
Press the lancing device (with a fresh lancet) to the side of your fingertip and press the release button to prick and collect the drop of blood.
Now hold the tip of the test strip into the blood sample at a slight angle. The test strip sucks in the blood like a straw. The meter lets you know with a beep when there is enough blood for the measurement. The display will show the countdown and after 5 seconds the measurement result will be shown on the display.
Useful hints:
Do not use expired test strips. Check the expiration date printed on the test strip vial and packaging.
Close the test strip container IMMEDIATELY after removing a test strip to protect the remaining test strips from moisture in the air.
Use test strips immediately after removing them from the jar.
Do not use wet or damaged test strips.
Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Store the test strips in a dry, cool place (not in the bathroom).
Write the opening date on the test strip vial label. Discard any remaining test strips 6 months after first opening.
Dispose of the used test strip and the used lancet immediately after the test.

A Wellion blood sugar test strip is a high-tech product. The test strip consists of different layers into which electrodes are worked in a complex process, while a biological substrate – glucose oxidase – is applied in a precise process in the reaction zone. Glucose oxidase is an enzyme that reacts highly specifically with glucose in the blood. This reaction generates electricity, which the meter converts into a corresponding blood sugar value and shows on the display.
