ReliOn Prime User Manual

These capillary action test strips require 

only 0.5 micro-liter (µl) of blood and provide 

an end-fill sample application tip for easy 

blood application. The ReliOn® Prime Blood 

Glucose Monitoring System measures the 

amount of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary 

whole blood. When a drop of blood is added 

to the sample application tip, the sample is 

drawn into the test strip reaction site. The 

glucose in the blood reacts with the enzyme 

on the test strip. This reaction produces 

a current, proportional to the amount of 

glucose in the blood. The meter detects the 

current and converts it into a blood glucose 

reading.
