Intended use
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 dierent 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 ineective.
W
• 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
suocation if small parts (e.g. covers, caps or
similar objects) are swallowed.

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 insucient, and more blood can be
applied.
• Marking test results
You can mark test results with dierent 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
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 dierent units of measurement (mg/dL or mmol/L). Two dierent
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.
W
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.
