Blood volume: 1-2 μL
Measuring range: 10 mg/dL – 600 mg/dL
Sample types: Capillary blood. If the test strip is removed from the meter to apply blood: venous blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin or ammonium heparin or EDTA arterial blood and blood from neonates
Sample dosing: Blood application on to the middle of the test pad. The test strip (and its components) has the function to spread the blood above the test area – in a quick and hygienic way
Dosing options: Blood can be applied to both an already inserted test strip, and a tests trip outside the meter. This is helpful to minimize the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of AST, to facilitate blood application
Re-dosing capability: Additional blood can be added to the test strip within 10 seconds after applying the first drop (applies for inside mode)
Visual color check: Plausibility check option with 5 color block on the test strip vial
Hematocrit range: 20 – 55 % (within-meter mode) 20 – 70 % (outside-meter mode)
The test strips remain stable at least up to the expiry date printed on the test strip vial, even after opening the test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed

Accu-Chek Instant S Glucometer Strips are the specialized consumable test strips designed exclusively for use with the Accu-Chek Instant S Glucometer. They are a critical component of a modern, connected blood glucose monitoring system, known for its smart features and user-friendly design.
Sourcing these strips from Microsidd.com ensures authenticity and a reliable supply chain for both individual users and healthcare institutions.
The primary function of these strips is to work with the Accu-Chek Instant S meter to provide a precise biochemical measurement of blood glucose levels from a tiny blood sample.
Integrated Diabetes Management: Used by individuals for daily testing to manage Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes as part of a connected system that automatically logs results via the mySugr app.
Data-Driven Insights: Each test provides a data point that, when synced to the smartphone app, helps users visualize trends and understand the impact of diet, exercise, and medication.
Informed Insulin Dosing: The accurate readings are critical for users who need to calculate precise insulin doses to avoid hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
Seamless Data Logging: The strips are used with a meter that automatically transmits results, eliminating manual entry and creating a reliable digital history for doctor's visits.
Smart Point-of-Care Testing (POCT): Used by nursing staff for rapid bedside glucose checks, with the added benefit of easy data transfer for electronic health records (EHR) or for review by diabetes educators.
Critical Care Monitoring: Essential for patients in ICU, on insulin drips, or in surgery, where frequent and accurate glucose monitoring is vital.
Efficient Outpatient Consultations: In diabetic clinics, the historical data captured using these strips can be quickly reviewed on a screen, facilitating a more productive discussion between the healthcare provider and the patient.
The Accu-Chek Instant S strips are engineered with several advanced features that complement the smart meter.
High Accuracy: Utilizes a specific enzyme and sophisticated chemistry to provide clinically reliable results, which is the foundation for trust in both home and hospital settings.
Small Blood Volume: Requires only 0.6 µL of blood. This is one of the smallest volumes on the market, enabling a less deep and less painful finger-prick.
No Coding Required: The strips are auto-coded by the meter. This removes a common user-error step and ensures the meter is always perfectly calibrated for the strip batch, guaranteeing accuracy from the first strip to the last.
Second-Chance Sampling: A significant user-friendly feature. If the first blood drop is insufficient, you have up to 5-10 seconds to apply more blood to the same strip, saving the cost and frustration of wasting a strip.
Capillary Action: The strip is designed to automatically draw the correct amount of blood into the test channel, making the process simple and clean.
Individual Foil Wrapping: Each strip is individually sealed in a foil pouch with desiccant to protect it from moisture, heat, and humidity, ensuring long-term stability and performance until the expiration date.
Exclusive Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with the smart features of the Accu-Chek Instant S meter, including automatic Bluetooth data transmission.
Guaranteed Authenticity: Purchasing from an authorized distributor like Microsidd.com is the best defense against counterfeit strips, which can give dangerously inaccurate results.
Supply Chain Reliability: For hospitals, a consistent and dependable supply of these specific strips is non-negotiable for maintaining continuous patient care.
Fresh Batches: Distributors like Microsidd.com typically have high stock turnover, ensuring you receive strips with a long remaining shelf life, which is crucial for performance.
