AC Impedance and Multi-Pulse Technology
Introduction
Diabetic test strips have changed the game for blood glucose monitoring! AC Impedance and Multi-Pulse Technology are the key players.
History
- The 1980s saw AC Impedance emerge as a method to measure blood glucose levels [1].
- Fast forward to the 2000s: Multi-Pulse Technology stepped up accuracy and reduced interference [2].
Technology
AC Impedance detects glucose levels by tracking changes in electrical impedance. Multi-Pulse Technology boosts signal quality with multiple pulses.
Manufacturers and Product Lines
- Roche leads the charge with Accu-Chek Inform II, powered by AC Impedance [3].
- LifeScan's OneTouch Verio relies on Multi-Pulse Technology [4].
