The Accu-Chek Integra meter is intended for use by one person
only.
Use of the same Accu-Chek Integra meter by more than one
person or for performing blood glucose measurements in more
than one person poses an infection risk.
Any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential
source of infection (see: National Committee for Clinical Labora-
tory Standards: Protection of Laboratory Workers from Instru-
ment Biohazards and Infectious Disease Transmitted by Blood,
Body Fluids, and Tissue. Approved Guideline, NCCLS document
M29-A, 1997).

1.2 Main features
With your Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter you can test your
blood glucose simply and with confidence.
Test strip drum instead of individual test strips
You never need to touch a test strip. Simply insert a drum with 17 test
strips into the Accu-Chek Integra meter.
Easy to operate
Turn on the meter, apply blood, read the result, press the button to eject
the test strip.
Automatic coding
Every test strip drum has its own bar code. The Accu-Chek Integra blood
glucose meter is automatically coded when you insert a new drum,
a process which provides the meter with information on the specific
characteristics of the test strips.
Reliability
The Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter checks each test strip. If it
finds a defective strip, it lets you know before you apply blood.
Blood volume checking
The Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter can tell when you have
applied sufficient blood (approximately 1.5 µL (1 microlitre = 1 thou-
sandth of a millilitre). It waits until then before starting the measure-
ment. If the measurement does not start, you may apply more blood.
Easier way of dosing blood
Blood is drawn up into the test strip through capillary action. This means
that the collection of blood from alternative sites, such as the forearm,
the upper arm or the base of the thumb, is much easier.
Downloading data to a PC
The Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter has an infrared interface
which enables you to download results to a PC running suitable soft-
ware.
We recommend that you use an Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device to
obtain capillary blood samples (see Part 2 of this booklet).

1.3 About this manual
This manual will help you get to know your new Accu-Chek Integra
meter step by step. It will provide you with all the information you need
to operate, troubleshoot, and care for your meter. It is important to re-
member that, in order to keep your meter in tip-top condition, you need
to comply with all instructions given in addition to following the correct
operating procedures. The Accu-Chek Integra meter is a precision in-
strument. Improper treatment can impair its function.
Throughout this manual you will see examples of what the display looks
like. Elements that flash are shown surrounded by a halo.
Example:
mmol/L
You have turned on the meter to perform a blood glucose measurement.
The display shows a number of elements, some of which (the blood
drop and the hand symbol) are flashing.
The date, time and blood glucose results shown in the display are in-
tended only as examples. They will not be the same as those shown by
your Accu-Chek Integra meter. The blood glucose meter that is depicted
displays blood glucose results in mmol/L (see Chapter 2.2 “Checking
the blood glucose unit”) and has been set to 24-hour format (see Chap-
ter 3.3 “Changing the time/date format”).
We recommend that you start by familiarizing yourself with all of the
elements of your Accu-Chek Integra meter shown on pages 10 – 13
of these instructions. Practise all of the operations described in these
instructions, and also practise testing. That way you will always have a
dependable partner to accompany you through the day.
