Glucose Meter Critical Evaluation
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Blood glucose meters were originally intended to monitor patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and have undergone improvements through the years that have made them suitable for self-monitoring (Bimenya, Nzarubara, Kiconco, Sabuni, & Byarugaba, 2003, p. 23). The first patently successful blood glucose monitor was developed by Genetics International with assistance from Cranfield and Oxford Universities (Newman & Turner, 2005, p. 2435). It was designed for use at home was a mediated device that used a "disposable, screen-printed sensor design" (Newman & Turner, 2005, p. 2435). The instrument went through several iterations through the years, from a pen-shaped device to a credit card format, and then to a computer-mouse-shaped device, but the concept itself has remained relatively unchanged (Newman & Turner, 2005, p. 2435). The three types of glucose meters currently in use include the amperometric, reflectance, and colorimetric transduction devices (Bimenya, Nzarubara, Kiconco, Sabuni, & Byarugaba, 2003, p. 23). Glucose meters are biosensors that detect glucose as it passes through a membrane that selectively permits analyte transport to an enzyme system that produces a response when it interacts with the glucose (Bimenya, Nzarubara, Kiconco, Sabuni, & Byarugaba, 2003, p. 23). This response causes the transducer to generate an electrical signal that amplifies and translates the glucose concentrati
