Intended use

The Accu-Chek Active blood glucose meter

The Accu‑Chek Active blood glucose meter is

intended to be used for quantitative blood

glucose tests in fresh capillary blood. The

meter may only be used together with

Accu‑Chek Active test strips. Consult the

package insert of the test strips if you intend to

use dierent sample material.

The blood glucose monitoring system

comprises the meter and test strips and is

suitable for self‑testing and for professional

use. People with diabetes can use this system

to self‑test their blood glucose. Healthcare

professionals can use this system to check

patients’ blood glucose values and they can

use it in suspected cases of diabetes and in

emergency diagnostics.

The system is suitable for testing blood glucose

with blood obtained from alternative sites.

The system must not be used to diagnose or

rule out diabetes.

The system is only suitable for use outside the

body.

Visually impaired persons must not use the

meter.

The meter must only be used for its intended

purpose; if used otherwise preventive

measures could be ineective.

• Healthcare professionals must also read the

instructions and notes in Chapter 10 “Testing

blood glucose in more than one patient”.

• All objects that could come into contact with

human blood are potential sources of

infection.

There is a risk of infections (e.g. hepatitis B,

hepatitis C, HIV) being transmitted if the meter

is used by other people, even family members,

or if healthcare professionals use the same

meter to test blood glucose in more than one

person.

• Only use the Accu‑Chek Active meter with

Accu‑Chek Active test strips that are approved

by Roche Diagnostics. Other test strips deliver

incorrect results.

• Keep the blood glucose monitoring system

with all its components away from children

under the age of 3. There is a risk of

suocation if small parts (e.g. covers, caps or

similar objects) are swallowed.

Getting to know the blood glucose monitoring system

The main features

• Short testing time

The meter needs only approximately 5 seconds

for each test.

• Testing without pressing buttons

For testing, you do not need to press a single

button.

• Additional dosing option

To perform a test, the meter requires 1–2 µL

blood (1 µL (microlitre) = 1 thousandth of a

millilitre). The meter detects if the amount of

blood is insucient, and more blood can be

applied.

• Marking test results

You can mark test results with dierent symbols

which indicate particular situations during the

test.

• Memory

The meter automatically saves up to 500 test

results with the time and date of the test and all

other information that is important for the test.

• Integrated data analysis

From the stored test results your meter can

calculate your average values for the last 7, 14,

30 and 90 days.

• Data transfer

The meter has a USB port. You can transfer

saved test results to a computer.

• Flexible blood application

You can apply blood to the test strip while the

test strip is in the meter or after you have

removed it from the meter.

Steps before testing

Unpacking the contents

Check that the contents of the package are complete. You will ﬁnd a list with the contents on the box.

If anything is missing, please contact your customer support and service centre (see page 63).

Checking the unit of measurement

Test results can be displayed in two dierent units of measurement (mg/dL or mmol/L). Two dierent

versions of the same meter are therefore available. Check if your meter displays the unit of measurement

you are accustomed to. You can ﬁnd the unit of measurement that your meter displays on the type plate

on the back of your meter 1. If you do not know which is the right unit for you, ask your healthcare

professional.

The unit of measurement that

your meter displays cannot be

changed. If the wrong unit of

measurement is printed on the

type plate, ask your healthcare

professional to exchange the

meter or contact your

customer support and service

centre. Using the wrong unit of

measurement may cause

misinterpretation of your actual

blood glucose level and may

lead to improper therapy.

Steps before testing

Checking the display

You can check if all of the display elements are properly displayed, by carrying out a full display check.

Compare the elements displayed on your meter with the display

shown here.

If any of the display elements are missing or the unit of measurement

shown for the blood glucose results is not the correct one, please ask

your healthcare professional to exchange the meter.

Press the M and S buttons at the same time to end the display check

and turn the meter o.

With the meter turned o, press

the M and S buttons at the same

time for approximately 2 seconds

until the meter is switched on.
