ASAM LAKTAT | CARA PENGECEKAN ASAM LAKTAT MENGGUNAKAN ACCUTRAND PLUS - Lactic acid

Summary

This video demonstrates how to check lactate levels using the Trend Plus device. It covers essential setup steps, including battery installation, date and time settings, and the use of the appropriate test strips. The Trend Plus not only measures lactate but also cholesterol, blood sugar, and triglycerides, with a memory capacity for over 100 tests. The procedure involves blood sampling with a lancet, calibration with test strips, and interpreting results, emphasizing the importance of lactate in monitoring physical exertion and its impact on the body.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Trend Plus device is used for measuring lactate levels, cholesterol, blood sugar, and triglycerides.
• 📅 Before use, set the date and time on the device for accurate memory storage of results.
• 🔋 Ensure the device is powered on and calibrated with the appropriate test strip for accurate readings.
• 💉 Use a lancet to obtain a blood sample before inserting the test strip into the device.
• ⚖️ The color of the test strip for lactate measurement is yellow, which distinguishes it from other tests.
• ⏳ Results for lactate measurement are typically available in about 9 seconds after sample insertion.
• 🌡️ The device must be stored at room temperature, around 30°C, for optimal performance.
• 📊 Normal lactate levels in the blood are below 2 mmol per liter; higher levels may indicate intense physical activity.
• 😓 Excess lactate can lead to symptoms like muscle cramps, headaches, fatigue, excessive sweating, and rapid heart rate.
• 📈 The Trend Plus can store over 100 memory results, making it practical for frequent testing.
