1 1.2 The Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device at a glance 20 Plunger The plunger is a multifunction button used to prime, trigger and eject the lancet.
1 1.3 Main features The meter is supplied with batteries already inserted. The time and date are already set. You may need to adjust these settings to your own time zone (see Chapter 3 “Settings”). Docked lancing device The meter comes with an attached Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device. You can leave it docked onto the meter to collect blood or, if you prefer, you can undock it. Test strip drum instead of individual test strips You never need to touch a test strip.
1 Acoustic Mode The Acoustic Mode is intended for persons who are visually impaired. When the Acoustic Mode is turned on, the meter guides the user through the testing process using beep tones; it also outputs the result as a series of beeps. Visually impaired persons need a sighted person to instruct them in the use of the meter and to assist them with all aspects of its operation. Visually impaired persons must not test their blood glucose without assistance from a sighted person.
1 Throughout this User’s Manual you will see examples of what the display looks like. Any elements that flash are shown surrounded by a halo. Example: You have turned on the meter to perform a blood glucose test. In the display you see the time, date, test strip symbol and blood drop symbol. Both symbols are flashing. We recommend that you start by familiarizing yourself with all of the elements of your meter shown on pages 6 - 11 of this User’s Manual.
2 Initial steps before testing 2 2.1 2.3 Checking the contents Check that your monitoring kit is complete. The package contents are listed on the box. If anything is missing, please contact the Accu-Chek customer care line. Details are given at the end of this User’s Manual. 2.2 Inserting or replacing batteries If the meter is on, press the Test button to turn it off. Press lightly on the battery compartment cover and slide it in the direction of the arrow. Lift off the cover.
2 Remove any used batteries. Insert two new batteries (type AAA, LR 03, AM 4 or micro). The minus (-) ends of the batteries must match up with the minus marks in the battery compartment. The plus (+) ends of the batteries must match up with the plus marks in the battery compartment. i When you replace the batteries, your results always remain saved.
2 i When the battery symbol first appears in the display the batteries are running low. You can perform about 50 more tests. You should, however, replace the batteries as soon as possible. By then the batteries will have been heavily drained, and variable conditions (e.g. cold surroundings) can affect their performance even further. i You can also use rechargeable NiMH batteries.
2 2.4 Release the M button. Performing a full display check The standard display test screen that is shown each time the meter is turned on appears briefly. When it disappears, the meter is in memory mode. As no results have yet been saved, three bars are displayed. To check that all of the elements are properly displayed, you should carry out a full display test. Press and hold down the M button. The meter turns on. As long as you hold down the M button, all the display elements are visible.
2 2.5 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum Irrespective of whether a test strip drum is inserted or not: Read the package insert that came with the test strip drums. If the meter is on, press the Test button to turn it off. Press the red drum release button. The pin holding the test strip drum in position retracts with an audible CLICK. Wait for the motor to stop before you open the meter. Only open the meter when it is turned off and the motor is not running.
2 Insert a new test strip drum. Always make sure that the bar codes are inserted on top. If there is a test strip drum in the meter: Tip the meter forwards. The test strip drum drops out. Close the drum compartment cover and push it shut. There will be an audible CLICK. i i 28 You can dispose of used test strip drums with your regular household waste. Initial steps before testing Ensure that the drum compartment cover is tightly closed.
2 A dot appears in the small control window on the back of the meter. This indicates that you have just inserted a test strip drum. When you perform a blood glucose test, the meter counts the number of test strips that you have used and displays the number of strips remaining. Product Limitations Please read the literature packaged with your test strip drum to find the latest information on product specifications and limitations. Use only new test strips.
2 i Use only Accu-Chek Compact test strip drums. Other test strips cannot be used to perform tests. If you insert a different test strip drum, the following message will be displayed: i Only open the drum compartment when you intend to insert a new test strip drum or the meter requests you to clean the measuring window (see Chapter 7.1 “Cleaning the Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter”).
2 The test strips in this drum cannot be used. You must not use these test strips as they may produce incorrect results. Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and produce adverse health effects. If the meter cannot calculate the use-by period and you turn the meter on to perform a blood glucose test, the following symbols appear flashing in the display: Insert a new test strip drum.
3 Following the quality control check, the bottle symbol disappears from the display. The drum symbol continues to flash in order to draw your attention to the fact that the meter cannot calculate the 90-day use-by period or the drum symbol and the clock both flash to indicate that the drum has been in use for more than 90 days. If you do not perform a quality control check, the flashing bottle symbol appears with every test until you insert a new drum.
You must adjust the year, time and date to enable the meter to correctly allocate test results to a particular day or time. You have the option of setting the alarm clock function and hypo warning, but are not required to. You can close the settings menu at any time by pressing the Test button. All settings you have entered up to that point are saved. i The procedure for changing the settings is as follows: Press the S button to call up the settings menu. A test strip is not advanced.
If this happens, you have to reset the year, time and date so that you can clearly distinguish between test results. If you do not set the year, time and date, a series of zeros (0:00 and 0-00) will be displayed whenever you perform a test instead of the time and date, and your future results will be saved without the year, time and date. In this case the test results saved in memory will be numbered consecutively so you can still recognize the order in which they were saved.
Press the M button to move to the next option. 3.2 Setting the year 3 The year that is currently set flashes at top right of the display. M Press the M button repeatedly until the correct year is displayed. Each push will advance one year. M M M If you hold the M button down, the meter fast-scrolls forward to the production year +32, and then starts again with the year of manufacture.

4 Testing blood glucose The Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter is intended for use by one person only. The lancing device has a plunger at the top (see illustration on page 11). This plunger has three functions: Use of the same Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter for blood glucose testing on more than one person poses an infection risk.
4.1.1 Undocking the lancing device from the meter 4.1.2 Docking the lancing device onto the meter Push the slide button in the direction indicated by the arrow (1). Hold the meter so it is horizontal, with the recess for docking the lancing device pointing upwards. Withdraw the lancing device in the direction indicated by the arrow (2). 4 Place the flat face of the lancing device on the lower end of the recess, with the plunger facing towards the slide button.
Remove the protective cap from the lancet with a twisting motion. 4.1.3 Inserting the lancet Remove the cap from the lancing device. 4 Press the lancing device cap back on the lancing device. The locating notch in the cap (1) must be directly aligned with the locating line on the lancing device (2). The cap snaps into place with an audible CLICK. Slide a new lancet into the lancet holder, and push it in until you hear it CLICK into place.
Dropping the lancing device with a lancet inserted may loosen the lancet in its holder. In that case the lancet is no longer properly lodged and cannot be used to obtain blood. In rare cases the lancet may even protrude from the cap. This exposed lancet could cause injury. Therefore take great care not to touch the front of the cap. 4.2 Testing blood glucose Press the Test button to turn the meter on. Shortly afterwards the meter automatically advances a test strip.
Check that all the segments making up the numerals are properly displayed. If a segment is missing, your test results may be displayed incorrectly (e.g. through a “9” being confused with a “3”). If this occurs, call the Accu-Chek customer care line. Details are given at the end of this User’s Manual. Wait until the flashing test strip symbol and blood drop symbol are displayed and the meter beeps (provided the beep tone is turned on). You now have approximately 5 minutes in which to apply blood.
Rotate the Comfort Dial (cap) until you reach your chosen setting. Choose a low setting (e.g. 2) if you are using the Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device for the first time. 4 Do not prime the lancing device until you are ready to collect a blood sample. Keeping the lancing device in this primed state can cause parts to become misshapen through tension, impairing its operation. To collect blood you first need to prime the lancing device. Press the plunger all the way down.
Press in the plunger until it CLICKS. This triggers the lancet, which penetrates the skin. 4.2.2 Applying blood to the test strip Hold the meter so that the test strip is pointing downwards (see illustration). Gently massage the finger towards the fingertip to encourage a drop of blood to form. 4 Touch the drop of blood, as soon as it has formed, against the front edge of the test strip where the black notch is located. The strip draws up blood.
Always hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards when you are applying blood to the test strip. If you hold it so the test strip is pointing upwards or sideways or you put the meter down on a surface with the test strip still in it, blood can enter the meter and contaminate it. If the test does not start, you applied too little blood. You can then apply more blood (see the package insert that came with the test strips).
Press the Test button to turn the meter off and allow the test strip to drop out. Repeat the blood glucose test with a new test strip. i If you do not turn the meter off, it turns off automatically after approximately 60 seconds. The test strip then remains in the meter. When you turn on a meter which still has a test strip inserted, it simply ejects the strip and turns itself off again. 4.2.3 Ejecting the test strip Hold the meter over a waste bin with the test strip pointing downwards.
i Do not pull the test strip out of the meter 4.2.4 Ejecting the used lancet before you have applied blood. If you do, the following message is displayed: Remove the lancing device cap from the lancing device. 4 or while measurement is in progress. If you do, the following message is displayed: Press the Test button to turn the meter off. Repeat the test with a new test strip.
Hold the lancing device upright above a waste bin. A cut-out area on the inside of the lancet holder makes it easy to hook the lancet platform. Press in the plunger until it CLICKS. The lancet drops out. 4 Make sure the lancet has dropped out. Inadvertently leaving the lancet in the lancing device may result in personal injury. i You must remove the lancing device cap to eject the lancet. If you leave the lancing device cap in place, pressing the plunger will prime the lancing device.
Pressing the Test button to turn the meter off saves the result together with the asterisk. 4.2.5 Flagging special results You can flag special results, e.g. results obtained from alternate site testing or after exercise, with an asterisk . Wait until the flashing test strip symbol and blood drop symbol are displayed and the meter beeps (provided the beep tone is turned on). 4 4.3 Evaluating results 4.3.1 Plausible results Press the S button.
These results are not used to calculate averages (see Chapter 5.3 “Averages, highest value and lowest value for 7, 14 and 30 days”). If the displayed test result agrees with the way you feel, follow your doctor’s advice. If the way you feel does not agree with the displayed test result, please perform a quality control check with Accu-Chek Compact Control or Accu-Chek Compact Autocontrol solution and a new test strip. Then perform another blood glucose test.
5 Using the Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter as an electronic notebook 5.1 Memory 5.2 Your Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter has a 300-value memory for saving results together with time and date (provided you have set the time and date). You do not need to save the results manually. The meter does it all for you. All results in memory are consecutively numbered from 1 (most recent) to a maximum of 300 (oldest).
Press the S button to move towards the next most recent result saved. If you hold down the S button, you scroll through your results more quickly towards the more recent results. When you reach the most recent result in memory, pressing the S button again takes you back to the oldest result. 5.3 Averages, highest value and lowest value for 7, 14 and 30 days 5 Your Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter can display the average value as well as the highest value and the lowest value.
With the meter turned off, press the M button. The meter turns on without advancing a test strip. The most recent result and mem are displayed. Press and hold down the M button. As long as you hold the button down, the lowest blood glucose value you obtained in the last 7 days is displayed along with its time and date. 5 Press the S and M buttons at the same time. The average of the results from the last 7 days is displayed. Press and hold down the S button.
Press the S and M buttons again at the same time. The average of the results from the last 30 days is displayed. For this period, too, you can request the meter to display the lowest and the highest values. To do this, press and hold down the M and S buttons, respectively. Press the Test button to turn the meter off. A test strip is not advanced. 5.
Start the program on your PC or handheld computer, or on the Accu-Chek Smart Printer System, so it is ready to receive the data. Start downloading at the PC, handheld computer or the Accu-Chek Smart Printer System. Position the meter 10-20 cm away from the infrared window of the infrared cable, handheld computer or the Accu-Chek Smart Printer System. Point the two infrared windows towards one another. The meter automatically sends all your blood glucose test results.
6 Checking the Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter To ensure your results are always dependable, you should periodically check the performance of your Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter.
Take a bottle of control solution. Open it and wipe the tip of the dropper with a clean paper towel in order to remove any dried-on residues. Hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards (see illustration). Apply a drop of control solution to the surface of a clean, easily washable object made of glass, porcelain or stainless steel (e.g. a plate or spoon). 6 i 96 Use only control solution that has been freshly applied to the surface of the object.
Hold the front edge of the test strip to the drop of control solution. The test strip draws up the control solution via the black notch. On completion of the test, the result appears in the display. The meter automatically saves the result to memory. If you are using Accu-Chek Compact Autocontrol solution: The meter automatically detects that you have applied control solution. The bottle symbol appears in the display when measurement starts.
i You can only flag the result as a quality control test as long as you have not yet turned the meter off. Once the meter has been switched off, you can no longer flag the result. You cannot change results you have retrieved from memory with the M button. As soon as the result is displayed (and you have flagged it as a quality control test where this is necessary): Compare the result with the concentration table printed on the peeloff label attached to the drum container.
If the result is outside the stated range, perform a second quality control check.
7 Cleaning your Accu-Chek Compact Plus system 7.1 Cleaning the Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter The Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter uses an optical measuring method that relies heavily on all of its components being clean. Because of the way the test strip works, the meter does not normally come into direct contact with blood. Regular cleaning is therefore largely unnecessary. In the rare event of the meter becoming soiled through improper use, cleaning it may become necessary (see message E-5 on page 134).
Use a lightly moistened cotton swab to wipe the small window covering the optical system and the area around it. Remove any fluff or lint that may remain. Close the drum compartment cover and push it shut. You will hear an audible CLICK. Perform a quality control check (see Chapter 6 “Checking the Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter”). i Ensure that the drum compartment cover is tightly closed. If it is not properly closed, the meter will not turn on when you press the Test button.
8 7.2 Cleaning the Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device Clean your lancing device regularly to keep it in good working condition. If any blood gets on it, always wipe this away immediately. Clean the outside of the lancing device only. Wipe it once a week with a cloth lightly moistened with 70 % ethanol or 70 % isopropanol (available from your pharmacist). Measurement and storage conditions When testing blood glucose, pay close attention to the following points.
A test can be performed at the limits of the permitted range (between +6 °C − +10 °C or between +40 °C − +44 °C). In this case the thermometer symbol is displayed. Never expose the lancing device to high temperatures (e.g. in a hot car). High temperatures can cause parts of the lancing device to become warped, so impairing its operation. Do not use results obtained at the limits of the permitted temperature range as a basis for making therapeutic decisions, as they could be incorrect.
9 8.3 Sources of interference Strong electromagnetic fields may interfere with the proper operation of the meter. Do not use the meter close to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation. To avoid electrostatic discharge, do not use the meter in a very dry environment, especially one in which synthetic materials are present. Keep the meter away from very strong light sources (e.g. direct sunlight, studio lighting, spot lights, etc.).
