The BHBCheck Plus blood ketone test strips are thin strips printed with a star pattern. They contain a chemical reagent system for
use with the BHBCheck Plus Meter to measure the beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) ketone concentration in bovine whole blood. Fresh venous
blood is applied to the end tip of the test strip, then automatically absorbed into the reaction cell where the reaction takes
place. A transient electrical current is formed during the reaction and the blood BHB concentration is calculated based on the
electrical current detected by the meter. The BHBA meter display provides plasma equivalent results in millimoles BHB per liter of
blood (mmol/L).
