If the pouch has been punctured, the cartridge should not be used.
How does the i-STAT measure blood glucose?
Glucose is measured amperometrically. Oxidation of glucose, catalyzed by the enzyme glucose oxidase, produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The liberated H2O2 is oxidized at the electrode to produce a current proportional to the sample glucose concentration.
