mesure sur toute la largeur de la bandelette
Système qui permet effectivement d'appliquer le sang sur toute la largeur de la bandelette. Peut-être à tourner de façon plus marketing (quelque chose comme "zone de mesure..." ?)...

Dosage de fin de largeur totale
full-width = terme technique pour dire largeur totale d'une zone
Peer comment(s):

Tony M
: Non-sens ; to start with, 'end' here isn't 'fin', but rather 'extrémité'; and 'largeur totale' seems to me inapt here; I'd have thought more like 'pleine largeur', for example. I also think 'dosage' is highly questionable for the usage here.

extrémité de dosage pleine largeur
"End dosing" is commonly used in this context as in:

"End dosing for easier testing" -> Extrémité de dosage facilitant le test
https://www.accu-chek.com/
"Simple to use the entire end of the strip" > It is clear that the full width is used to place the sample.

Tony M
: What you have translated is 'full-width dosing end' (usual FR/EN word order problem!) — which however totally changes the meaning here, where it needs to emphasize the fact that the dosing takes place 'via the end' (i.e. not the side)

Totally no point.. The emphasis is put on the width of the end used for dosing which is the feature that differentiates this device, not the fact that the dosing is made through the end (which is rather obvious and all the similar devices share!)

No point. Tony's translation does not exist in any well established reference. Please read my explanation instead of disagreeing just for disagreeing / 0 Ghits means neutral, you should put a negative figure instead.

dosage longitudinal pleine largeur
I think 'longitudinal' might work better than trying to explain it as 'par l'extrémité, for example.
The dosing takes place at the end of the test strip (rather than at the side), and the capillary input stertches across the full width of the test strip, thus making the task of placing the blood droplet less difficult.

--------------------------------------------------
With the caveat I have already expressed about the use of 'dosage' — even in EN, 'dosing' seems odd to me (but does appear to be the accepted term); however, I have not done the research to confirm if 'dosage' is similarly used in FR in this sense? It's tricky, since almost all references one finds seem to be translations from original EN websites... I haven't so far managed to find an authoritative original FR reference?

Sandrine has suggested replacing 'dosage' with 'mesure', and I would totally support that suggestion.

Nadia A.
: "longitudinal" is an unnecessary detail as the dosing technique used is the same than any other dosing device but with a larger zone receiving the sample, and might even lead to a counter-sense (as opposed to "longitudinal study")

Oh but no, that's the whole point! It is as distinct from 'latéral', and is a VITAL detail here!

Discussion
To me, 'dose' implies a measured quantity, wheras in this instance, the size of the blood droplet is entirely random and cannot be controlled. I suppose one could argue that it is 'dosed' in the sense that the test strip sucks in just the amount it needs — but that seems to me decidedly tenuous!

"Dosage" also appears, but less frequently than "mesure".
So if this particualr model has this dosing 'channel' located on the end, that will make things a lot easier; and likewise, having it the full width of the test strip will make it a lot less fiddly to position the droplet of blood.
