  • Title: [Reflolux--a new test system for the self control of blood glucose for diabetics].
    Author: Koschinsky T, Dannehl K, Gries FA.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1984 Jun 22; 109(25):991-3. PubMed ID: 6734456.
    Abstract:
    Correctness and accuracy of Reflolux, a new microprocessor-controlled minireflectometer for measuring blood-glucose concentrations, were tested in ten instruments. There was good agreement between the Reflolux values and those obtained in the laboratory with the hexokinase method, over the entire range of 40-350 mg/dl with a relatively small margin of error. Thus the Reflolux provides even in the hypoglycaemic range values accurate enough for everyday use by a diabetic. An important advantage of this test system lies in the use of Haemo-Glukotest 20-800 test strips which, in conjunction with the Reflolux, provide a visual color comparison for blood-glucose levels in the range of 20-800 mg/dl.
