SIEMENS Ketostix

The Siemens Ketostix test strips are used for visual and instrument-based urine analysis. Evaluations can be carried out with Clinitek 50, 500, Clinitek Status and Clinitek Advantus. Thanks to the clear colour change, which occurs even with minor pathological changes, the test strips are highly accurate and easy to read. The comparison scale ensures easy interpretation of results. The test strips have a test pad which simply needs to be dipped into the urine. Ketones can form in cases of severe insulin deficiency. With a pronounced deficiency, fats are broken down; the resulting waste products are referred to as ketones/acetone. These substances are then excreted in the urine. Diabetics suffering from an infection are particularly at risk. For diabetics, it is recommended to check the urine regularly using Ketostix test strips.
